PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: May 8, 2013
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION
The trial court signed an order to clarify the underlying divorce decree on August 3,
2012. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 9.008 (West 2006). Appellant timely filed a motion for new
trial on September 4, 2012. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 329b(a). Appellant’s notice of appeal was due
on November 1, 2012. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a). A motion for extension of time was due not
later than November 16, 2012. See id. R. 26.3. Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed on
December 3, 2012. See generally Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997).
On April 5, 2013, we advised Appellant that a timely notice of appeal is necessary to
invoke this court’s appellate jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(b). See generally Verburgt,
04-13-00014-CV
959 S.W.2d at 617. We ordered Appellant to show cause in writing to this court by April 22,
2013, why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. We warned Appellant
that if he failed to respond within the time provided, the appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R.
APP. P. 42.3.
To date, Appellant has filed no response to our April 5, 2013 order. Therefore, this
appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See id. Costs of this appeal are taxed against
Appellant.
