FROM THE 362ND DISTRICT COURT OF DENTON COUNTY

MEMORANDUM OPINION[1]

          On July 26, 2010, appellant filed an untimely second notice of appeal from his December 11, 2008 conviction.[2]  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a).  We informed appellant that the second notice of appeal was untimely and gave him or any other party ten days to respond showing grounds for continuing the appeal.[3]  Appellant filed a response, but it 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); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522–23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
