Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, JOYCE SHAW, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the County Court at Law No. 3
of Nueces County, Texas, in cause number 97-60337-3. Judgment in this cause was signed on June 26, 2002. A timely
motion for new trial was filed on July 9, 2002. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, appellant=s notice of appeal was due
on September 24, 2002, but was not filed until October 16, 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. Appellant=s untimely motion for leave to file notice of appeal was received on October 22, 2002.
Appellee=s response was received and filed on October 25, 2002.
The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant=s failure to timely perfect her
appeal, appellant=s untimely motion for leave to file notice of appeal, and appellee=s response, is of the opinion that
appellant=s motion should be denied and the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant=s motion
for leave to file notice of appeal is DENIED. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
