                     MEMORANDUM OPINION
 
                Before
Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Garza
                       Memorandum Opinion Per
Curiam
 
Appellant, CURTIS
JOHNSON, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 105th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.  Sentence in this cause was imposed on April 8, 2005.  No timely
motion for new trial was filed.   The notice of appeal was due to be filed on May 9, 2005, but was not filed until July 20, 2005.   The 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 DISMISSED
FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
Memorandum Opinion delivered and 
filed this the 30th day of August,
2005.
