MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Ya ez, Garza, and Benavides
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, JOSE LUIS GENARO RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ, attempted to perfect an appeal from a judgment entered by the 105th District Court of Kleberg County, Texas, in cause number 06-592-D. Judgment in this cause was signed on December 18, 2006. An untimely motion for new trial was filed on February 28, 2007. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, appellant's notice of appeal was due on January 17, 2007, but was not filed until February 28, 2007.

Notice of this defect was given so that steps could be taken to correct the defect, if it could be done. Appellant was advised that, if the defect was not corrected within ten days from the date of receipt of this Court's letter, the appeal would be dismissed. To date, no response has been received from appellant.

The Court, having examined and fully considered the documents on file, appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeal, and appellant's failure to respond to this Court's notice, is of the opinion that the appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.

PER CURIAM
