IN THE INTEREST OF K.K.M., a Child.
Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 5 of El Paso County, Texas (TC# 2020DCM3939)
Before Rodriguez, C.J., Palafox, and Alley, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
JEFF ALLEY, JUSTICE
This appeal is before the Court on its own motion to determine whether it should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Because Appellant did not timely file an appeal from the trial court's order, we dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
In civil cases, a notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after the trial court's judgment is signed except when a party timely files a motion for new trial, in which case the notice of appeal must be filed within 90 days after the trial court's judgment is signed. Tex.R.App.P. 26.1(a)(1). Here, the trial court issued an order on June 10, 2022. Appellant did not file a notice of appeal until July 26, 2022. The notice of appeal was filed beyond the time limit allowed under the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. On July 27, 2022, the Court sent a letter giving Appellant ten days to show why this matter should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex.R.App.P. 42.3. To date, we have not received a response from Appellant.
Accordingly, this attempted appeal is dismissed.
