MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Morris, Richter, and Lang-Miers
        The trial court's “Order in Motion for Enforcement and Order to Appear” was signed on October 17, 2008. Appellant filed a motion for new trial on November 14, 2008; therefore his notice of appeal was due by January 15, 2009. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a)(1). The notice of appeal is file- stamped February 26, 2009. In response to our letter questioning our jurisdiction over the appeal, appellant filed a letter brief conceding the notice of appeal was untimely. Appellee did not respond to our jurisdictional inquiry. Absent a timely notice of appeal, we have no jurisdiction over the appeal. See generally Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615 (Tex. 1997).
        We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
