MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Garza
Opinion Per Curiam



 Appellant, HORACIO GARCIA , attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 103rd District Court of
Cameron County, Texas.  Sentence in this cause was imposed on January 6, 2003 .  An untimely motion for new trial was
filed on February 14, 2003 .   The notice of appeal was due to be filed on February 5, 2003 , but was not filed until February
14, 2003 .   Said notice of appeal is untimely filed. Appellant filed an untimely motion to extend time to file notice of
appeal on February 24, 2003 .
 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 motion
requesting an extension of time within such period. 
 The Court, having considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant's
untimely motion, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.  Appellant's untimely
motion to extend time to file notice of appeal is dismissed.  The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF
JURISDICTION.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).

the 3rd day of April, 2003 .
