Roya Gessel, Appellant v. Jesse Gessel, Appellee
FROM THE 250TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-FM-18-001790 , THE HONORABLE JAMES L. ARTH, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION
Roya Gessel seeks to appeal a final decree of divorce signed by the district court on November 20, 2018. The thirty-day deadline for filing her notice of appeal to this Court was December 20, 2018. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). However, she did not file her notice of appeal to this Court until July 9, 2019, and she did not seek an extension of time to file it. See id. R. 26.3. Without a timely filed notice of appeal, we lack jurisdiction over the appeal. See id. R. 25.1(b); Gardner v. Gardner, No. 01-17-00525-CV, 2017 Tex. App. LEXIS 7606, at *2 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] Aug. 10, 2017, no pet.) (mem. op.) (dismissing untimely appeal of divorce decree).
On August 12, 2019, this Court requested that appellant Gessel file a written response demonstrating our jurisdiction over her appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). She did not file any response. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id.
