JANE DOE, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2
Travis County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. C-1-CV-18-000015
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Whitehill, and Justice Molberg
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
By letter dated January 22, 2019, we questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal because
the notice of appeal was untimely. When no timely post-judgment motion extending the appellate
timetable is filed, a notice of appeal is due thirty days after the date the judgment is signed or, with
an extension motion, forty-five days after the date the judgment is signed. See TEX. R. APP. P.
26.1, 26.3. Without a timely filed notice of appeal, this Court lacks jurisdiction. See id. 25.1(b).
The trial court signed the judgment on August 27, 2018. Appellant did not file any post-
judgment motion extending the appellate timetable. Accordingly, the notice of appeal was due on
September 26, 2018, thirty days after the date the judgment was signed. See id. 26.1. Appellant
filed a notice of appeal on September 27, 2018. Because the notice of appeal was not filed more
than fifteen days late, we informed appellant that he could remedy the timeliness problem by filing,
by February 1, 2019, a motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal. See id. 26.3. We
cautioned appellant that failure to file an extension motion within the time specified could result
in dismissal of the appeal without further notice.
As of today’s date, appellant has not filed a motion for extension of time to file the notice
of appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id. 42.3(a).
