Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-16-00144-CV

Alicia Ruth Arenas, Appellant

v.

Marco Antonio Arenas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY, 274TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. C2013-1421C, HONORABLE JACK H. ROBISON, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On May 13, 2015, the trial court signed the final decree of divorce that is the subject

of this appeal. Notice of appeal was due thirty days from the date of the decree. See Tex. R. App.

P. 26.1. However, appellant did not file her notice of appeal until March 2, 2016. Because the

notice of appeal was not filed until well after the deadline, we cannot exercise jurisdiction over

this appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See id. R. 42.3.
