MEMORANDUM OPINION

------------

        On October 3, 2003, we notified appellant, in accordance with rule of appellate procedure 42.3, that this court may not have jurisdiction over this appeal because it appears the notice of appeal was not timely filed. We stated that the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless appellant or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed with the court within ten days a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.

        Appellant’s response to our jurisdiction letter does not state sufficient grounds for continuing the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).

                                                          PER CURIAM

PANEL D:   LIVINGSTON, DAUPHINOT, and HOLMAN, JJ.
