                   Before Justices Dorsey, Rodriguez, and Castillo

                                       Opinion Per Curiam

 


Appellant, PULAK BARUA D/B/A SUNSHINE FOOD MART, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the County Court at Law No. 2 of Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 01-60445-2.  Judgment in this cause was signed on February 25, 2002.  A timely motion for new trial was filed on March 11, 2002.  Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, appellant=s notice of appeal was due on May 25, 2002, but was not filed until June 4, 2002. 

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 the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court=s letter, the appeal would be dismissed.  To date, no response has been received from appellant.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant=s failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant=s failure to respond to this Court=s notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
