MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Yañez and Garza

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam


	Appellants, JOYCE BRANFORD, ET AL., attempted to perfect an appeal from
a judgment entered by the 267th District Court of De Witt County, Texas, in cause
number 05-03-19,908.  Judgment in this cause was signed on August 2, 2006.  A
timely motion for new trial was filed.  Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, appellants'
notice of appeal was due on October 31, 2006, but was not filed until November 16,
2006.  
	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.  To date, no response has been received from appellants.
	The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file,
appellants' failure to timely perfect their appeal, and appellants' failure to respond to
this Court's notice, 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


Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed this
the 21st day of December, 2006.
