             FROM THE 181st DISTRICT COURT OF POTTER COUNTY;

                        _______________________________

                                Order of Dismissal
                        ________________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., and REAVIS and CAMPBELL, JJ.

       Pending before the court is the appeal of Lasaro Junior Sandoval.           He was

convicted of aggravated assault on a public servant. We received the reporter’s record on

May 5, 2006. So too did we receive a letter from Sandoval on May 5, 2006, inquiring about

the appeal. However, we have no notice of appeal, and the district clerk certified that none

was ever filed after Sandoval was convicted and sentenced on December 19, 2005.
Finally, the time to file one under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure has long since

lapsed.1

        Without a timely filed notice of appeal, we have no jurisdiction over the cause.

Consequently, we dismiss the matter for want of jurisdiction.
