                                       Opinion
Per Curiam
 




Appellant, LONGHORN PAVING, attempted to perfect an
appeal from a judgment entered by the 139th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas, in cause number C-4609-98-C.  Judgment in this cause was signed on April 10, 2002.  A timely
motion for new trial was filed on May 10, 2002. 
Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, appellant=s notice of appeal was
due on July 9, 2002, but was not filed until July
31, 2002.  
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.
