V.

ALIEF INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, Appellee

On Appeal from the 129th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2004-53464

MEMORANDUM OPINION We dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The judgment appealed was signed February 15, 2005. Appellant's notice of appeal was due to be filed within 30 days of the date the judgment was signed. Tex. R. App. P. 26.1. Appellant did not file his notice of appeal within the prescribed 30 days or file a motion to extend time to file the notice of appeal within the prescribed 15 days thereafter. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. Rather, appellant filed his notice of appeal on January 28, 2008, nearly three years after the notice of appeal was due to be filed.

After being notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction, appellant did not 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 Chief Justice Radack and Justices Jennings and Bland.
