IN THE INTEREST OF J.I.L, J.B, AND J.B., CHILDREN


From the 198th Judicial District Court, Bandera County, Texas
Trial Court No. CVPC-17-0000383
Honorable Cathy Morris, Judge Presiding

ORDER

The trial court signed a final order terminated appellant's parental rights on April 26, 2019. On April 16, 2020, appellant filed a letter with this court seeking to challenge the trial court's order.

An appeal of an order terminating parental rights is an accelerated appeal, and a notice of appeal seeking to challenge or appeal the order must be filed within twenty days after the date the order was signed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(b). Accordingly, appellant's notice of appeal was required to be filed in this court no later than May 16, 2019. Because the notice of appeal was untimely filed, appellant is ORDERED to show cause in writing within two weeks from the date this order is signed why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997). All other appellate deadlines are suspended pending our resolution of the jurisdictional issue.
