COURT OF APPEALS
SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH
NO. 2-05-331-CV
SOCORRO RODRIGUEZ APPELLANT
V.
CHARLES GORDON MCADAMS, M.D. APPELLEE
------------
FROM THE 67TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
------------
MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]
------------
Appellant Socorro Rodriguez appeals from the trial court=s judgment signed April 8, 2005. Appellant filed a motion for new trial on April 13, 2005. As a result, the notice of appeal was due July 7, 2005.[2] It was not filed until September 14, 2005.
Because the notice of appeal was untimely, we sent a letter to Appellant requesting a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, as it appeared we lacked jurisdiction. In response, we received a motion to reinstate the case on the docket, which we treat as a motion to retain the case on the docket. But the motion does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss this case for want of jurisdiction.[3]
