MARTHA WINDOM, Appellant
V.
WAUSAU UNDERWRITERS COMPANY, Appellee
On Appeal from the 269th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2010-27590
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
This is an attempted appeal from a judgment signed January 14, 2011. Appellant filed a timely motion for new trial on February 7, 2011. Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed July 19, 2011.
When appellant has filed a timely motion for new trial the notice of appeal must be filed within ninety days after the date the judgment is signed. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a).
Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed timely. A motion for extension of time is necessarily implied when an appellant, acting in good faith, files a notice of appeal beyond the time allowed by Rule 26.1, but within the fifteen-day grace period provided by Rule 26.3 for filing a motion for extension of time. See Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617-18 (1997) (construing the predecessor to Rule 26). Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed within the fifteen-day period provided by Rule 26.3.
On August 8, 2011, notification was transmitted to all parties of the court’s intention to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). Appellant’s response fails to demonstrate that this court has jurisdiction to entertain the appeal.
Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Frost, Seymore, and Jamison.
