Clarence Gray v. Hancock Mortgage Partners, LLC and Beard the Builder, LLC Dba Urban Builder

Opinion

Opinion issued February 20, 2025

In The

Court of Appeals

For The

First District of Texas

notice of appeal on January 21, 2025. Appellees filed a motion to dismiss the appeal. Appellant has not responded to this motion. We grant appellees’ motion.

A notice of appeal is generally required to be filed within 30 days after the judgment is signed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1. This 30-day deadline may be extended to 90 days after the judgment is signed if appellant files a timely motion for new trial or other post-judgment motion. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 329b. The appellate court may also extend the time to file the notice of appeal if, within 15 days after the deadline for filing it, appellant files the notice of appeal in the trial court and files a motion for extension of time in the appellate court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3.

Here, appellant’s notice of appeal was filed more than 150 days after the judgment was signed. Absent a timely-filed notice of appeal, this Court lacks jurisdiction over the appeal. See In the Interest of K.A.F., A Child, 160 S.W.3d 923, 928 (Tex. 2005).

We dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f). Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Gunn and Guiney.
