MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-12-00215-CV Jaime LUEVANO, Appellant v. Warden Jeff MORTON, et al., Appellees From the 81st Judicial District Court, Karnes County, Texas Trial Court No. 11-01-00020-CVK Honorable Donna S. Rayes, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Delivered and Filed: May 30, 2012 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION The trial court signed a final judgment on April 15, 2011. The notice of appeal was due to be filed on May 16, 2011. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1. Appellant did not file a notice of appeal until April 12, 2012. Although appellant states in his notice of appeal that he did not receive notice of the trial court’s judgment, the absence of notice that a final judgment was signed cannot extend the period for filing a notice of appeal “more than 90 days after the judgment or order was signed.” TEX. R. APP. P. 4.2(a)(1).

04-12-00215-CV

On April 26, 2012, we ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant responded to our order but provides no authority for this court to exercise jurisdiction over this appeal. Because appellant’s notice of appeal was untimely filed, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
