                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                         Before Justices Francis, Fillmore, and Whitehill
                                  Opinion by Justice Whitehill
       We questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal from the trial court’s October 23, 2017

order of dismissal as it did not appear the appeal was timely filed. See Brashear v. Victoria

Gardens of McKinney, L.L.C., 302 S.W.3d 542, 545 (Tex. App.–Dallas 2009, no pet.) (op. on

reh’g) (timely filing of notice of appeal is jurisdictional). Because a timely motion to reinstate was

filed, the notice of appeal was due January 22, 2018 or, with an extension motion, February 6,

2018. See TEX. R. APP. P. 4.1(a), 26.1(a), 26.3. The notice of appeal, however, was not filed until

April 3, 2018.
       We afforded appellant an opportunity to file a letter brief addressing our jurisdiction, but

he failed to do so and has not otherwise corresponded with the Court. Because the record reflects

the notice of appeal was untimely, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id. 42.3(a).
