Miles G. GOOD, Appellant v. Marissa C. GOOD, Appellee


From the 451st Judicial District Court, Kendall County, Texas Trial Court No. 20-429 Honorable Kirsten Cohoon, Judge Presiding

ORDER

Irene Rios, Justice.

The trial court signed a final, appealable judgment on October 6, 2023. Because appellant timely filed a motion for new trial, the notice of appeal was due 90 days later, on January 4, 2024. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(a). A motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal was due by January 19, 2024. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3.

Appellant filed his notice of appeal on February 14, 2024, and his motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal on February 20, 2024. "[O]nce the period for granting a motion for extension of time under Rule [26.3] has passed, a party can no longer invoke the appellate court's jurisdiction." See Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997) (construing the predecessor to Rule 26). Because the notice of appeal and motion for extension of time were untimely filed, we ORDER appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction by March 15, 2024. See id. If appellant fails to adequately respond to this order by the date ordered, this appeal will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3. All other appellate deadlines are suspended until further order of this court.
