Appellee.

No. 08-05-00153-CV

Appeal from the

of El Paso County, Texas

(TC#2004CM6664)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On April 6, 2005 this Court provided notice that it appeared from the appellate record that the notice of appeal was not timely perfected and, therefore, this Court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. It also provided notice of its intent to dismiss the case pending before this Court under Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). The notice provided that Appellant must show grounds for continuing the appeal by April 16, 2005. Not having received a response from Appellant, this Court, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.3, and on its own motion, hereby dismisses this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

We therefore dismiss this appeal.
