FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 4 OF TARRANT COUNTY
------------
MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]
------------
Appellant Richard Tharpe attempts to appeal from the trial court=s judgment signed August 8, 2006. Appellant did not file a postjudgment motion to extend the appellate deadline; his notice of appeal was therefore due September 7, 2006.[2] But he did not file a notice of appeal until November 20, 2006.
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.[3] Appellant=s response requesting a continuance did not show grounds for continuing the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss this case for want of jurisdiction.[4]
