Before Justices Dorsey, Rodriguez, and Castillo
Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, HORACE LAMAR WATKINS, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order denying second motion to set aside sentence entered by the 197th District Court of Cameron County, Texas, in cause no. 90-CR-814-C.
Upon review of the notice of appeal and documents filed by appellant, it appeared that an appeal was not timely perfected and, further, that the order from which this appeal was taken was not an appealable order. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if this defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court=s notice, the appeal would be dismissed. On May 23, 2001, appellant filed a motion to perfect.
The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant=s motion to perfect, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant=s motion to perfect is DENIED. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
