GN101342, HONORABLE SCOTT H. JENKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING Appellant Bonnie Faith Odutayo filed her notice of appeal late. This Court=s clerk sent a request for a response for an explanation of the basis on which this Court could exercise jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, 26.3. The clerk cautioned that this Court would have to dismiss the appeal unless appellant, by April 15, 2002, adequately explained the lateness of the notice of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. Appellant asked for more time to respond because of a family illness. This Court=s clerk eventually sent another request for response, requiring a response by July 29, 2002. This request also cautioned that failure to adequately explain the lateness of the notice could result in dismissal of the appeal. Appellant has not responded. The notice of appeal was untimely, this Court lacks jurisdiction, and we must dismiss this appeal. Lee Yeakel, Justice Before Chief Justice Aboussie, Justices B. A. Smith and Yeakel Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: August 30, 2002 Do Not Publish 2
