DISMISS and Opinion Filed February 12, 2018 S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-17-01136-CV PAVEL GOBERMAN, Appellant V. GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT, Appellee On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-17-02823-A MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright, Justice Evans, and Justice Brown Opinion by Chief Justice Wright The Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal because appellant’s notice of appeal was untimely. We informed appellant that his notice of appeal was filed within the fifteen-day grace period and that he could remedy the timeliness problem by filing an extension motion by October 27, 2017. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. We cautioned appellant that failure to file an extension motion within the time specified would result in dismissal of his appeal without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not filed an extension motion. The trial court signed the appealed order on August 11, 2017. Appellant did not file a postjudgment motion extending the appellate deadline. Accordingly, the notice of appeal was due on Monday, September 11, 2017. See TEX. R. APP. P. 4.1(a), 26.1. An extension of time may be granted if an appellant files a notice of appeal within fifteen days of the deadline and an extension motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3. Without a timely filed notice of appeal, this Court lacks jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(b). Appellant filed his notice of appeal on September 22, 2017, eleven days late. Because appellant did not timely file a notice of appeal or obtain an extension of time to file the notice of appeal, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a). /Carolyn Wright/ CAROLYN WRIGHT CHIEF JUSTICE 171136F.P05 –2– S Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas JUDGMENT PAVEL GOBERMAN, Appellant No. 05-17-01136-CV On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1, Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. CC-17-02823-A.
