DENNIS MESSERLY, Appellant

V.

SWEET CLAIM SERVICE, INC., Appellee

On Appeal from the 12th District Court

Grimes County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 29,714

MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Dennis Messerly attempts to appeal from the trial court's order, signed May 27, 2005, that he take nothing by his suit. Appellant filed no post-judgment motions or pleadings that would extend the time to file a notice of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a). Appellant did not file his notice of appeal until March 6, 2006, well beyond the 30 days from date of judgment deadline. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1. After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction, appellant 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, Alcala, and Hanks.
