IN THE INTEREST OF J.S., A CHILD


On Appeal from the County Court Kaufman County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 104418-CC

Before Justices Osborne, Pedersen, III, and Nowell

MEMORANDUM OPINION

LESLIE OSBORNE JUSTICE

This appeal follows a jury trial but was filed before a final judgment was signed. Because the appellate timetable does not begin to run until a final judgment has been signed, see Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, we directed appellant to file a letter brief showing cause why the appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Ganesan v. Reeves, 236 S.W.3d 816, 817 (Tex. App.-Waco 2007, pet. denied) (dismissing for want of jurisdiction prematurely filed appeal). Although we cautioned appellant that failure to comply by July 26, 2021 could result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice, appellant has not responded. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), (c).

Accordingly, as nothing before us reflects a judgment has been signed, we dismiss the appeal. See id. 42.3(a).

JUDGMENT

In accordance with this Court's opinion of this date, we DISMISS the appeal.
