                     Before Justices Dorsey, Rodriguez, and Castillo

                                       Opinion Per Curiam

 


Appellant, JORGE ARMANDO ROBLES, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 389th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.  Sentence in this cause was imposed on March 14, 2002.  No timely motion for new trial was filed. The notice of appeal was due to be filed on April 15, 2002, but was not filed until April 24, 2002.   Said notice of appeal is untimely filed.

Tex. R. App. P. 26.3 provides that the court of appeals may grant an extension of time for filing notice of appeal if such notice is filed within  fifteen days of the last day allowed and within the same period a motion is filed in the court of appeals reasonably explaining the need for such extension.  Appellant failed to file his notice of appeal and a motion requesting an extension of time within such period.

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

PER CURIAM
