Per Curiam
 
Appellants, James Warren and Lynn Warren, attempted to
perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 36th District
Court of Aransas County, Texas, in cause number A-93-0285-CV-A.  Judgment in this cause was signed on May 7, 2001.  A timely
motion for new trial was filed on May 9, 2001. 
Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a), appellants= notice of appeal was
due on August 5, 2001, but was not filed until August
31, 2001.  




Notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to
correct the defect, if it could be done. 
Appellants were 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.  On February 8, 2002, appellants= untimely motion for
leave to file notice of appeal was received in this Court.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file,
appellants= failure to timely
perfect their appeal, and appellants= untimely motion for
leave to file notice of appeal, is of the opinion that the appeal should be
dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  Appellants= untimely motion for
leave to file notice of appeal is DENIED, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED
FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
