MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Fillmore, and Justice Brown
Opinion by Justice Brown
Because the timely filing of a notice of appeal is jurisdictional and the notice of appeal
appellant filed appeared untimely, we directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our
concern. See Garcia v. Hibernia Nat’l Bank, 227 S.W.3d 233, 233 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st
Dist.] 2007, no pet.). Appellant complied, agreeing his appeal is untimely. Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
