MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
On May 3, 2011, Appellant Q.K.R. filed a notice of appeal from the trial
court’s judgment, which was signed on June 14, 2010. On May 16, 2011, we
sent a letter to Appellant stating our concern that we may be without jurisdiction
because no post-judgment motion was filed to extend the appellate deadline,
making the notice of appeal due July 14, 2010, and thus untimely when filed
almost a year later. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.1, 26.1. We informed Appellant that

See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
unless he, or any party desiring to continue the appeal, filed a response showing
a reasonable explanation for the late filing of the notice of appeal, on or before
May 26, 2011, the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex.
R. App. P. 42.3(a), 44.3. Appellant filed a response, but it does not show
grounds for continuing the appeal. Because Appellant’s notice of appeal was
untimely, we have no jurisdiction to consider this appeal. Accordingly, we
dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
