IN THE INTEREST OF T.S., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 301st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DF-17-00246
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Nowell
Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
By notice of appeal filed April 15, 2019, Father challenges the trial court's April 2, 2018 final decree of divorce. Because the notice of appeal was filed more than a year after the judgment was signed, we questioned our jurisdiction over the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1 (generally, notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days of date of judgment); Brashear v. Victoria Gardens of McKinney, L.L.C., 302 S.W.3d 542, 545 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2009, no pet.) (op. on reh'g) (timely filing of notice of appeal is jurisdictional). We directed Father to file a letter brief addressing our concern and cautioned him that failure to comply by May 13, 2019 could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a),(c). To date, Father has not responded.
Having nothing before us demonstrating our jurisdiction, we dismiss the appeal. See id.
