KENNETH WOODS D/B/A PLATINUM PROPERTIES, Appellant V. CHARLIE MAE THOMPSON, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 4 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-12-04525-D
MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices O’Neill, Francis, and Fillmore Opinion by Justice Francis Before the Court is appellee’s July 12, 2013 motion to dismiss the appeal. Appellee
contends the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant did not file a
response to the motion.
The trial court rendered a final default judgment on October 29, 2012. Appellant did not
file a post-judgment motion extending the appellate deadlines. Accordingly, his notice of appeal
was due on November 28, 2012. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1. Without a timely filed notice of
appeal, this Court lacks jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(b).
Appellant filed his notice of appeal on July 9, 2013, more than eight months past the
deadline. Because his notice of appeal was untimely, this Court lacks jurisdiction. Accordingly, we grant appellee’s motion and dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
