                                                      MEMORANDUM
OPINION
 
            Nedra Scott
has filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s order of September 23,
2009, dismissing her case for want of prosecution.  Scott timely filed a motion to
reconsider.  Therefore, her notice of
appeal had to be filed within ninety days of the date the judgment was
signed.  The last day for filing for the
notice of appeal was December 23, 2009.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a), 26.3.  Scott’s notice of appeal was not filed until
September 23, 2011, nearly two years late.
            On October
28, 2011, we informed Scott’s attorney of this defect and directed counsel to
show this Court how we had jurisdiction. 
We further informed counsel that, if no response was received by November
7, 2011, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  It is now December 7, 2011, and no response
has been received.
            We
dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
