MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Castillo, and Kennedy (1)
Opinion Per Curiam

 Appellant, ALFREDO NORIEGA , attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 105th District Court of
Nueces County, Texas.  Sentence in this cause was imposed on August 22, 2001 .  No timely motion for new trial was filed
.   The notice of appeal was due to be filed on September 21, 2001 , but was not filed until December 19, 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
