COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH

NO. 02-13-00445-CV

MARILYN MARTIN APPELLANT

V.

MIDFIRST BANK APPELLEE

----------

FROM THE 67TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION1

On December 16, 2013, we notified Appellant Marilyn Martin that this

appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction because her notice of

appeal was due April 19, 2013, but was not filed until December 4, 2013. See

Tex. R. App. P. 26.1; Howlett v. Tarrant Cnty., 301 S.W.3d 840, 843 (Tex. App.—

Fort Worth 2009, pet. denied) (“A timely-filed notice of appeal confers jurisdiction

1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. on this court, and absent a timely filed notice of appeal, we must dismiss the

appeal.”). Martin responded to our letter, but her response does not show

grounds for continuing the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want

of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
