Opinion

In The

Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-18-00306-CV ____________________

JAMES B. DAVIS, Appellant

V.

MARILYN BRYAN, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________

On Appeal from the 284th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 15-11-11701-CV ________________________________________________________ _____________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On August 15, 2018, we notified the parties that the notice of appeal did not

appear to have been timely filed. The appellant, James B. Davis, did not file a

response.

The trial court signed the judgment on March 7, 2018. By filing a motion for

new trial within thirty days of the date of the judgment, Davis extended the time for

perfecting his appeal to June 5, 2018. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a)(1). Davis filed a

notice of appeal on August 10, 2018, but by that date his notice was untimely and

1 outside the period for which we may extend the applicable appellate deadline. See

Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a)(1), 26.3. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for lack of

jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
