Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed September 15, 2022. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-22-00530-CV FARHAN LAKHANI, Appellant V. AAA TEXAS COUNTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee On Appeal from the County Civil Court at Law No. 2 Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1067589 MEMORANDUM OPINION This is an attempted appeal from a judgment signed February 24, 2016. No post-judgment motion was filed. Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed July 6, 2022. The notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after the judgment is signed when appellant has not filed a timely post-judgment motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1. Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed timely. A motion for extension of time is necessarily implied when an appellant, acting in good faith, files a notice of appeal beyond the time allowed by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 26.1, but within the 15-day grace period provided by Rule 26.3 for filing a motion for extension of time. See Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617–18 (1997) (construing the predecessor to Rule 26). Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed within the 15-day period provided by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 26.3. On August 17, 2022, notification was transmitted to all parties the appeal was subject to dismissal without further notice for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). Appellant filed no response. Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed. PER CURIAM Panel Consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Wise and Hassan. 2
