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)
