APPELLEE ---------- FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF TARRANT COUNTY ---------- MEMORANDUM OPINION1 ---------On January 30, 2012, the trial judge signed a take-nothing judgment on appellant The Imaging Bureau, Inc. s claims against appellee TeleCheck Services, Inc. Appellant timely filed a motion for new trial on February 27, 2012, but appellant did not file its notice of appeal until May 16, 2012, and the notice of appeal is therefore untimely. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 329b(a); Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a)(1), 26.3. 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. We sent a letter to appellant to express our concern that we do not have jurisdiction over the appeal because the notice of appeal is untimely. In the letter, we informed appellant than unless it filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, the appeal could be dismissed. Appellant has not responded. Because appellant s notice of appeal is untimely, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(a), 26.1(a)(1), 42.3(a), 43.2(f); Crites v.
