Crae Pease v. E. E. Reed Construction Co., Inc.

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-01-00147-CV


Crae Pease, Appellant

v.



E.E. Reed Construction Co., Inc., Appellee






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 353RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 97-11623, HONORABLE MARY PEARL WILLIAMS, JUDGE PRESIDING


PER CURIAM

The trial court signed the final judgment from which appellant Crae Pease sought to appeal on October 19, 2000. Appellant filed a timely motion for new trial on November 6, 2000, thus extending the deadline for filing his notice of appeal to January 17, 2001, ninety days from the date of the judgment. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a). However, appellant did not file his notice of appeal until March 6, 2001, and has no reasonable explanation why this Court has jurisdiction over the appeal. Therefore, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
