    ------------

      

    FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 4 OF TARRANT COUNTY

      

    ------------

      

    MEMORANDUM OPINION (footnote: 1)

      

    ------------

    Appellant Richard Tharpe attempts to appeal from the trial court’s judgment signed August 8, 2006.  Appellant did not file a postjudgment motion to extend the appellate deadline; his notice of appeal was therefore due September 7, 2006. (footnote: 2)  But he did not file a notice of appeal until November 20, 2006.

    Because the notice of appeal was untimely, we sent a letter to Appellant requesting a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, as it appeared we lacked jurisdiction. (footnote: 3)  Appellant’s response requesting a continuance did not show grounds for continuing the appeal.  Accordingly, we dismiss this case for want of jurisdiction. (footnote: 4)
