MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Garza
Opinion Per Curiam

 Appellant, JOSEPH MANUEL GARZA , attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 337th District
Court of Harris County, Texas.  Sentence in this cause was imposed on October 15, 2002.  No motion for new trial was
filed.  The notice of appeal was due to be filed on November 14, 2002 , but was not filed until November 25, 2002.   Said
notice of appeal is untimely filed. 
 Tex. R. App. P. 26.3 provides that the court of appeals may grant an extension of time for filing notice of appeal if such
notice is filed within  fifteen days of the last day allowed and within the same period a motion is filed in the court of
appeals reasonably explaining the need for such extension.  Appellant failed to file his notice of appeal and a motion
requesting an extension of time within such period. 
 The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, is of the opinion
that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.   The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF
JURISDICTION.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).

Opinion delivered and filed this
the 27th day of March, 2003 .
