Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-13-00631-CV
Billy Caffey, Individually and as Personal Representative of the Estate of Brain W. Caffey, Appellant
v.
American Medical Response of Texas, Inc.; AMR Employee No. 230/EMTP Attendant D. Stevens; and AMR Employee No. 139/EMTP Unknown Driver, Appellees
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF MILAM COUNTY, 20TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. CV35,213, HONORABLE JOHN YOUNGBLOOD, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant filed a notice of appeal on August 1, 2013. He has attempted to appeal
from a judgment signed on April 15, 2013. Because appellant filed a motion for new trial on
May 15, 2013, the deadline for filing his notice of appeal was July 15, 2013. See Tex. R. App. P.
26.1(a) (notice of appeal must be filed within 90 days after judgment signed when motion for new
trial timely filed). The deadline for filing a motion for extension of time to file his notice of appeal
was July 30, 2013. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3 (allowing 15-day extension of notice of
appeal deadline).
On October 9, 2013, we sent a letter to appellant stating our concern that we lacked
jurisdiction over this appeal because the notice of appeal was not timely filed. See Tex. R. App. P.
25.1(b), 26.1, 26.3; Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997). Appellant responded to our letter, asking for this Court to grant an “out of time” appeal. The time for filing a notice of
appeal, however, is jurisdictional and, absent a timely filed notice of appeal or extension request, we
must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 2, 25.1(b), 26.3; Verburgt, 959 S.W.2d at 617.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
