Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-12-00628-CV
Luis A. URIBE,
Appellant
v.
Sara Rodriguez URIBE,
Appellee
From the County Court at Law No. 1, Webb County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2004CVG001255 C1
Honorable Alvino (Ben) Morales, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: June 19, 2013
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Appellant attempts to appeal from a final judgment signed on November 13, 2008. The
notice of appeal, however, was not filed until September 19, 2012, well after the prescribed time
limit for perfecting appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1. “[O]nce the period for granting a motion for
extension of time under Rule [26.3] has passed, a party can no longer invoke the appellate court’s
jurisdiction.” See Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997) (construing the
predecessor to Rule 26); In re Estate of Padilla, 103 S.W.3d 563, 567 (Tex. App.—San Antonio
2003, no pet.); Grondoma v. Sutton, 991 S.W.2d 90, 93 (Tex. App.—Austin 1998, pet. denied).
04-12-00628-CV
Accordingly, on May 24, 2013, we ordered appellant to show cause in writing why this
appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant did not respond. We, therefore,
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
