First District of Texas

NO. 01–04–01169–CV

EDWARD RAY NEWSOME, Appellant

V.

WALGREEN’S DRUG STORE, Appellee

On Appeal from the 189th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1995-25994

MEMORANDUM OPINIONAppellant, Edward Ray Newsome, appeals a take-nothing judgment rendered against him on November 7, 1996. Appellant filed his notice of appeal on December 8, 2004, which is well beyond the time deadline required to perfect an appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1 (requiring that the notice of appeal be filed within 30 days after the judgment is signed). After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal, appellant Edward Ray Newsome did not adequately respond. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a) (allowing involuntary dismissal of case).

          The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction. All pending motions are denied.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Taft, Keyes, and Alcala.
