MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Castillo, and Garza
Opinion Per Curiam

         Appellant, ROGELIO GARCIA RAMOS, attempted to perfect an appeal from a
judgment entered by the 357th District Court of Cameron County, Texas.  Sentence
in this cause was imposed on May 12, 2003.  No timely motion for new trial was filed. 

The notice of appeal was due to be filed on June 11, 2003, but was not filed until
January 29, 2004.   Said notice of appeal is untimely filed. 
         Tex. R. App. P. 26.3 provides that the court of appeals may grant an extension
of time for filing notice of appeal if such notice is filed within  fifteen days of the last
day allowed and within the same period a motion is filed in the court of appeals
reasonably explaining the need for such extension.  Appellant failed to file his notice
of appeal and a motion requesting an extension of time within such period. 
         The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to
timely perfect his appeal, 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
Do not publish.
Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).

Opinion delivered and filed this
the 15th day of April, 2004.
