IN THE INTEREST OF JOSHUA L. HUNT, A CHILD
________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
Before Chief Justice Seerden and Justices Dorsey and Rodriguez
Appellant, RODNEY TEALER, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 25th District Court of Gonzales County, Texas, in cause number 20,506. Judgment in this cause was signed on April 12, 2000. 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 12, 2000, but was not filed until June 15, 2000.
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. Appellee filed a motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction on August 10, 2000. Appellant's response to appellee's motion was received on September 5, 2000.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, appellee's motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction, and appellant's response thereto, 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
Do not publish.
