                     MEMORANDUM OPINION

                Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Garza

                       Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, ANA B. BETANCOURT, attempted to perfect an appeal from an order entered by County Court at Law No. 2 of Cameron County, Texas, in cause number 2005-CPC-00092-B.  The order in this cause was signed on April 14, 2005.  No timely motion for new trial was filed.  Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, appellant=s notice of appeal was due on May 16, 2005, but was not filed until July 15, 2005. 

Notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done.  Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court=s letter, the appeal would be dismissed.  To date, no response has been received from appellant.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant=s failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant=s failure to respond to this Court=s notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.

PER CURIAM

Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed this
