Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed June 11, 2024. Appellant’s notice of appeal was not filed timely. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1.

On July 23, 2024, notification was transmitted to all parties the appeal was subject to dismissal without further notice for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). Appellant filed no response.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Spain, Poissant, and Wilson.
