MEMORANDUM OPINION (footnote: 1) AND JUDGMENT

----------

On November 12, 2002, we notified appellant, in accordance with T EX. R. A PP. P. 42.3, that the notice of appeal was not timely filed and that we would dismiss this case for want of jurisdiction unless appellant or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed with the court within ten days a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.   We have not received any response.  

Because appellant's notice of appeal has not been timely filed, it is the opinion of the court that this appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.   See T EX . R. A PP . P. 25.1(a), 26.1(a), 42.3(a).  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

PER CURIAM

PANEL D: CAYCE, C.J.; DAY and LIVINGSTON, JJ.
