KATHLEEN GASKILL, Appellant



V.



TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, Appellee




On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2

Montgomery County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 07-21546




MEMORANDUM OPINION

On February 7, 2008, we notified the parties that the notice of appeal did not appear to have been timely filed. The appellant did not reply to our correspondence. The trial court signed the judgment on November 6, 2007, and the appellate timetables were not extended by the timely filing of post-judgment motions. Notice of appeal was due to be filed on December 6, 2007. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1. Appellant filed notice of appeal on January 18, 2008, more than thirty days from the date of judgment and outside the time for which we may grant an extension of time to perfect appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. This Court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
