IN THE INTEREST OF M.C.T., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 302nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-20-09973
Before Justices Schenck, Osborne, and Smith
MEMORANDUM OPINION
DAVID J. SCHENCK, JUSTICE
In the notice of appeal, appellant states she is appealing from the trial court's judgment signed on February 16, 2022. We questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal because the clerk's record does not contain a judgment signed on that date. We instructed appellant to file, by May 9, 2022, a letter brief addressing the issue and cautioned her that failure to do so may result in dismissal of the appeal without further notice. As of today's date, appellant has not responded.
The appellate timetable does not commence to run other than by signed, written order. See Farmer v. Ben E. Keith Co., 907 S.W.2d 495, 496 (Tex. 1995); Tex.R.App.P. 26.1. Thus, without a signed judgment or appealable order, there is nothing for this Court to review. See Parson v. Cole, No. 05-21-00086-CV, 2021 WL 960643, at *1 (Tex. App.-Dallas March 15, 2021, no pet.) (mem. op.). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
JUDGMENT
In accordance with this Court's opinion of this date, the appeal is DISMISSED.
It is ORDERED that appellees Michael Senturion Thompson and Courtney Danielle Thompson recover their costs of this appeal from appellant Sandra Jones.
