LEOPOLDO LEAL, Appellant,

v.

NUECES ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC., Appellee.

On appeal from the 28th District Court of Nueces County, Texas

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Castillo, and Garza

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, LEOPOLDO LEAL, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 28th District Court of Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 06-2821-A. Judgment in this cause was signed on August 31, 2006. No timely motion for new trial was filed. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, appellant's notice of appeal was due on October 2, 2006, but was not filed until October 19, 2006.

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

the 22nd day of November, 2006.
