CHRISTIAN CONSULTANTS OF TEXAS, LLC, Appellee On Appeal from the 162nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-21-06562 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Goldstein Opinion by Chief Justice Burns Appellant appeals from the trial court’s August 6, 2021 default judgment. Because appellant did not file a post-judgment motion extending the appellate deadline, the notice of appeal was due on September 7, 2021. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1; 4.1(a). Appellant filed the notice of appeal on September 14, 2021, seven days past the due date but within the fifteen-day grace period. See id. 26.3. Without a timely notice of appeal, this Court lacks jurisdiction. See id. 25.1(b). By letter dated September 17, 2021, the Court informed appellant that she could remedy the timeliness problem by filing, by September 27, 2021, a motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal. See id. 26.3. We cautioned appellant that failure to file an extension motion by the specified date may result in dismissal of the appeal for want of jurisdiction without further notice. As of today’s date, appellant has not filed an extension motion. Because appellant’s notice of appeal is untimely, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id. 42.3(a). /Robert D.
