IN THE INTEREST OF V.E.C., A CHILD
From the 361st District Court Brazos County, Texas Trial Court No. 20-000442-CVD-361A
Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Johnson, and Justice Wright
The Honorable Jim R. Wright, Senior Chief Justice (Retired) of the Eleventh Court of Appeals, sitting by assignment of the Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. §§ 74.003, 75.002, 75.003.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
MATT JOHNSON, JUSTICE
Appellant filed a notice of appeal on August 17, 2022, stating that he is appealing from the trial court's Order in Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship that was signed on September 3, 2021. The notice of appeal is untimely pursuant to Rule 26 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1 and 26.3.
By letter dated August 18, 2022, the Clerk of the Court notified Appellant that this appeal would be dismissed unless he filed a response within twenty-one (21) days showing grounds for continuing the appeal. Appellant has not responded.
Because our jurisdiction depends on a timely notice of appeal and because Appellant's notice of appeal is untimely, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id. R. 42.3(a); Howell v. Tarrant Cty., 301 S.W.3d 840, 843 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth 2009, pet. denied) ("A timely-filed notice of appeal confers jurisdiction on this court, and absent a timely filed notice of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal.").
Appeal dismissed.
