JOHN C. DEATON JR. AND ELIZABETH DEATON, Appellants v. ENTERPRISE TE PRODUCTS PIPELINE LLC, Appellee
On Appeal from the 58th District Court Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. A-200 ,797
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On January 4, 2018, John C. Deaton Jr. and Elizabeth Deaton filed a notice of appeal of an order signed on December 20, 2017. We docketed the appeal and granted a fifteen-day extension of time to file a petition for a permissive appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 12.1, 28.3(d). On January 10, 2018, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless a petition for a permissive appeal was filed by the January 19, 2018, deadline. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. No response has been filed.
A petition for a permissive appeal must be filed within fifteen days after the order to be appealed is signed. See Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(c). An extension may be granted if a party files the petition within fifteen days after the deadline and files a motion for extension of time. Tex. R. App. P. 28.3(d). In this case, the appellants filed a motion but did not file a petition within the time required. Id. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
