MEMORANDUM OPINION

This is an appeal from a judgment signed February 19, 2015. Appellant filed a timely motion for new trial. The notice of appeal was due March 23, 2015. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1. Appellant, however, filed his notice of appeal on March 26, 2015, a date within 15 days of the due date for the notice of appeal. See Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997). Appellant did not file a motion to extend time to file the notice of appeal. On June 23, 2015, we ordered appellant to file a proper motion to extend time to file the notice of appeal on or before July 3, 2015. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3, 10.5(b). Appellant did not file a motion. We, therefore, dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.
