On appeal from the 357th District Court
of Cameron County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Yañez, Garza, and Benavides
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, ARTURO RODRIGUEZ, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 357th District Court of Cameron County, Texas. Sentence in this cause was imposed on November 3, 2006. A timely motion for new trial was filed on November 22, 2006. The notice of appeal was due to be filed on February 1, 2007, but was not filed until February 6, 2007. Said notice of appeal is untimely filed. Appellant filed an untimely motion to permit late filing of the notice of appeal on April 9, 2007.
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, appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant's untimely motion, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant's untimely motion to permit late filing of notice of appeal is dismissed. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
