MARILYN MARTIN APPELLANT V. MIDFIRST BANK APPELLEE

---------- FROM THE 67TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY ---------- MEMORANDUM OPINION1 ---------- On December 16, 2013, we notified Appellant Marilyn Martin that this appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction because her notice of appeal was due April 19, 2013, but was not filed until December 4, 2013. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1; Howlett v. Tarrant Cnty., 301 S.W.3d 840, 843 (Tex. App.— Fort Worth 2009, pet. denied) (“A timely-filed notice of appeal confers jurisdiction

See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. on this court, and absent a timely filed notice of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal.”). Martin responded to our letter, but her response does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
