Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, CELIA SCOTT , attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 138th District Court ofCameron County, Texas, in cause number 2001-01-442-B . Judgment in this cause was signed on October 30, 2001 . A timely motion for new trial was filed on November 27, 2001. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a), appellant's notice of appeal was due on January 28, 2002 , but was not filed until February 15, 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. To date, no response has been received from appellant.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant's failure to respond to this Court's notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
