                                MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]
 
                                              ------------

On May 7, 2009, appellant AEP Engineering &
Consulting, Inc. d/b/a Texas Conveyors International filed a notice of appeal
from the trial court=s judgment, which was signed on
December 19, 2008.  On May 18, 2009, we
sent a letter to appellant stating our concern that we are without jurisdiction
because appellant=s motion for new trial was due
on January 19, 2009, but was not filed until March 9, 2009; therefore, it
appeared the notice of appeal was not timely filed.[2]  We informed appellant that unless it or any
party filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal on or before
May 28, 2009, the appeal could be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  Appellant has faxed us a copy of what appears
to be the parties= Rule 11 agreement to
discontinue the appeal.[3]
However, because appellant=s notice
of appeal is untimely, we have no jurisdiction to consider this appeal.  Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want
of jurisdiction.[4]
