IN RE COMMITMENT OF DANIEL SANCHEZ




On Appeal from the 359th District Court
Montgomery County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 03-08-06085-CV




MEMORANDUM OPINION (1)
	We received notice of appeal filed April 21, 2004.  We notified the parties that the
notice of appeal did not appear to have been timely filed.  In his response, the appellant
conceded that the motion for new trial was not filed within thirty days of judgment.  The
judgment was signed on February 5, 2004.  No motion for new trial was timely filed.  A
notice of appeal was filed on April 21, 2004, more than 30 days from the date the
judgment was signed and outside the period of time for which an extension of time to file
notice of appeal may be granted.  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, 26.3.  The Court finds
appellant failed to timely perfect an appeal.  The Court further finds that it lacks
jurisdiction over this appeal.  Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
	APPEAL DISMISSED.
