[CV06]

 No. 02-05-00367-CR, 2005 Tex. App. LEXIS 9211, at *2 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Nov. 3, 2005, no pet.) (mem. op.); see also Olivo v. State, 918
S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) (interpreting former Rule of Appellate
Procedure 41(b)(2)).
            Dunigan also cites Rule 44.3
and asks the Court to maintain the appeal on the docket because he has a
meritorious ground for appeal and because counsel inadvertently miscalculated
the deadline for the notice of appeal.  Rule 44.3 provides, “A court of appeals must not
affirm or reverse a judgment or dismiss an appeal for formal defects or
irregularities in appellate procedure without allowing a reasonable time to
correct or amend the defects or irregularities.”  Id. 44.3.  However,
Rule 44.3 may not be used to enlarge the deadline for perfecting an appeal in a
criminal case.  See Olivo, 918 S.W.2d at 523 (interpreting former Rule
of Appellate Procedure 83).
Both Dunigan’s notice of
appeal and his motion for an extension of time to file the notice of appeal are
untimely.  Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  See
Olivo, 918 S.W.2d at 522-23; Thompson, 2005 Tex. App. LEXIS 9211, at
*2-3.
