                     MEMORANDUM OPINION
 
                 Before Justices
Hinojosa, Yañez, and Garza
                       Memorandum Opinion Per
Curiam
 




Appellant, CHRISTOPHER
CROCKETT, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 130th District Court of Matagorda County,
Texas.  Sentence in this cause was
imposed on July 20, 2005. 
A timely motion for new trial was filed on August 9, 2005.   The notice of appeal was due to be filed on October 18, 2005, but was not filed until December 19,
2005.   Said 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 hereby
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed this
the 9th day of March, 2006.
