We received notice of appeal filed August 13, 2003. We notified the parties that the notice of appeal did not appear to have been timely filed. The appellant did not reply to our correspondence. The summary judgment was signed on March 24, 2003, and made final by the signing of a severance order on May 9, 2003. Motion for new trial was filed on June 9, 2003. A notice of appeal was filed on August 13, 2003, more than 90 days from the date the judgment was signed. Appellant did not establish that the notice of appeal was mailed by the due date. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 5. The appellant did not file a motion for extension of time with this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. The Court finds appellant failed to timely perfect an appeal, and further failed to present a reasonable explanation for her need for an extension. Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b)(1)(c).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
