                 i3efore Chief Justice Wright and Justices Francis and Lang-Miers
                                 Opinion By Chief Justice Wright

        By letter dated July 27, 2012, the Court informed appellant that his notice of appeal was

untimely but that he could cure the timeliness problem by filing, within ten days. an extension

motion. We cautioned appellant that failure to file an extension motion may result in dismissal of

his appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not filed a motion to extend the

time to file his notice of appeal.

        Where a party does not file a post-judgment motion extending the appellate timetable, a

notice of appeal is due thirty days after the date the judgment is signed. See TEx. R. App. P. 26.1.

An extension of time may he granted if an appellant files a notice of appeal within fifteen days of

the deadline and files a motion complying with rule of appellate procedure 10.5(b). See TEx. R.
App.   P. 26.3. Without a timely filed notice ol’appeal. this Court lacks jurisdiction. S’ee TEx. R. APP.

P. 25.1(h).

         Appellant is appealing a protective order signed on June 5. 2012. Appellant did not file any

post—judgment motion. Accordingly, the notice olappeal was due on .July 5. 2012. Appellant tiled

his notice of appeal on July 6. 2012 Appellant did not respond to this Court’s letter informing him
                                      .

that he needed to lile an extension motion.        Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of

jurisdiction. See Tizx. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
