MEMORANDUM OPINION
On November 7, 2016, we notified the parties that the notice of appeal did
not appear to have been timely filed. The appellant, Aurita F. Araujo Lindley, then
filed a motion for an extension of time to file her notice of appeal.
The trial court signed the judgment on June 24, 2016, and the appellate
timetables were extended by the timely filing of a motion for new trial. See Tex. R.
App. P. 26.1(a). Notice of appeal was due to be filed on September 22, 2016. Id.
Appellant filed a notice of appeal on October 28, 2016, more than ninety days from
1
the date of judgment and outside the period for which we may grant an extension
of time to perfect appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. Accordingly, we deny the
motion for extension of time to file a notice of appeal and we dismiss the appeal
for lack of jurisdiction.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
