Dismissed; Opinion Filed February 22, 2018. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-17-01355-CV SERGIO AGUILAR, Appellant V. SERVICE LLOYDS INSURANCE CO., Appellee On Appeal from the 192nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-16-01742 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Francis, Brown, and Stoddart Opinion by Justice Stoddart Sergio Aguilar appeals the trial court’s order granting Service Lloyds Insurance Co.’s motion for summary judgment. After reviewing the clerk’s record, the Court questioned its jurisdiction over this appeal because the notice of appeal was untimely filed. We instructed appellant to file a letter brief explaining how this Court has jurisdiction. Appellee has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Appellant filed a letter brief but failed to address this Court’s jurisdiction over the appeal. When a party files a timely motion for new trial, a notice of appeal is due ninety days after the date the judgment is signed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a). Without a timely notice of appeal this Court lacks jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(b). The trial court signed the judgment on June 19, 2017. Because appellant filed a timely motion for new trial, the notice of appeal was due on Monday, September 18, 2017. See TEX. R. APP. P. 4.1, 26.1(a). Appellant filed a notice of appeal on November 27, 2017. Because the notice of appeal was untimely, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a). We deny as moot appellee’s motion to dismiss. /Craig Stoddart/ CRAIG STODDART JUSTICE 171355F.P05 –2– Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas JUDGMENT SERGIO AGUILAR, Appellant No. 05-17-01355-CV On Appeal from the 192nd Judicial District Court, Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-16-01742.
