NO. 03-01-00583-CV

In the Matter of S. P.

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 98TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. J-19,560, HONORABLE W. JEANNE MEURER, JUDGE PRESIDING

Appellant S.P. seeks to appeal an order signed by the district court on May 3, 2001.

Appellant filed a request for findings of fact and conclusions of law, thus extending the deadline to file a notice of appeal to August 1, 2001. See Tex. R. App. 26.1(a). Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed in the district court on August 20, 2001. Appellant’s notice of appeal was not timely filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, 26.3. We therefore dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
