       Because the timely filing of a notice of appeal is jurisdictional and the notice of appeal

appellant filed appeared untimely, we directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our

concern. See Garcia v. Hibernia Nat’l Bank, 227 S.W.3d 233, 233 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st

Dist.] 2007, no pet.). Appellant complied, agreeing his appeal is untimely. Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a).
