Appellant, EDGAR ORTIZ-AVILA A/K/A EDGAR ISRAEL ORTIZ,
attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 105th
District Court of Kleberg County, Texas, in cause number 04-606-D.  Judgment in this
cause was signed on March 4, 2005.  A timely motion for new trial and motion to
set aside default judgment were filed on March 28, 2005.  Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, appellant=s notice of appeal was
due on June 2, 2005, but was not filed until June
24, 2005.  
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.  Appellant=s response to this Court=s notice was received
on September 14, 2005.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file,
appellant=s failure to timely
perfect his appeal, and appellant=s response 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.
PER CURIAM
 
 
Memorandum Opinion
