MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Garza
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

         Appellant, GUADALUPE GAMEZ, attempted to perfect an appeal from a
judgment entered by the 24th District Court of Victoria County, Texas.  Sentence in
this cause was imposed on September 30, 2004.  No motion for new trial was filed. 
The notice of appeal was due to be filed on November 1, 2004, but was not filed until
January 17, 2005.   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Do not publish.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).
Memorandum Opinion delivered 
and filed this the 3rd day of March, 2005.
