                                                   Trial
Court Cause No. 5913D

This is
an appeal from a judgment revoking community supervision.  We dismiss the appeal for want of
jurisdiction.

The
trial court originally convicted Randy Dean McKnight, upon his plea of guilty,
of aggregate theft by check and assessed his punishment at confinement for
eighteen months in a state jail facility and a $100 fine.  Pursuant to the plea bargain agreement, the
imposition of the sentence was suspended, and appellant was placed on community
supervision for five years.  At the
hearing on the State=s amended motion to revoke, appellant
entered pleas of true to nine of the State=s eleven allegations.  The State abandoned the two allegations to
which appellant entered pleas of not true, and the trial court found the
remaining nine allegations to be true. 
The trial court then revoked appellant=s
community supervision and imposed a sentence of confinement for fifteen months
in a state jail facility.
The
trial court imposed the sentence on January 3, 2007.  A motion for new trial was not filed.  In order to timely perfect an appeal, the
notice of appeal was due to be filed on or before February 2, 2007.  Tex.
R. App. P. 26.2.  Appellant filed
his notice of appeal on February 6, 2007.  To extend the time for perfecting an appeal,
both a motion for extension of time and the notice of appeal were required to
be filed on or before February 20, 2007. 
Tex. R. App. P. 26.3.  A motion for extension of time has not been
filed.  Absent a timely notice of appeal
or compliance with Rule 26.3, this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain an
appeal.  Slaton v. State, 981
S.W.2d 208 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1996); Rodarte v. State, 860 S.W.2d 108 (Tex. Crim. App.
1993); Shute v. State, 744 S.W.2d 96 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988).
On March 8, 2007, the clerk of this court wrote
the parties and advised them that the clerk=s
record had been received and that it appeared that an appeal had not been
timely perfected.  The clerk advised
appellant to respond on or before March 23, 2007, showing grounds for
continuing this appeal.  There has been
no response to our letter of March 8.
Appellant has not established that this court has
jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. 
The appeal is dismissed.
