      Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Yañez and Garza

                       Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

 

Appellant, Manuela Galarza, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 36th District Court of Bee County, Texas, in cause number B-00-1512-1-CV-A.  Judgment in this cause was signed on June 23, 2005.  Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, appellant=s notice of appeal was due on July 13, 2005, but was not filed until July 25, 2005. 


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.
