Before Justices Dorsey, Rodriguez, and Castillo
Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, WILLIAM M. SHERMAN , attempted to perfect an appeal from an order entered by the 10th District Court of
Galveston County, Texas, in cause number 99CV0970 .  The order in this cause was signed on August 22, 2000 .  Pursuant
to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(b), appellant's notice of accelerated appeal was due on September 11, 2000 , but was not filed until
September 19, 2000 .  
Notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised
that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court's letter, the appeal would be
dismissed.  To date, no response has been received from appellant.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, and
appellant's failure to respond to this Court's notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of
jurisdiction.  The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
