On Appeal from the 317th District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. F-239,508 __________________________________________________________________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On March 21, 2022, the trial court signed a judgment terminating the parental
rights of G.V. to his child, B.B.C. On May 23, 2022, G.V. filed a notice of appeal.
We questioned our jurisdiction but G.V. did not file a response.
An appeal is accelerated in a case where the trial court ordered termination of
parental rights. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. §§ 109.002, 263.405(a); see also Tex. R.
App. P. 28.4. Accordingly, a notice of appeal is due twenty days after the trial court
signs the final judgment. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(b), 28.1(b). The appellant has not
shown that he filed a notice of appeal within the time authorized for perfecting an
1 accelerated appeal or for requesting an extension of time to file a notice of appeal.
See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(b), 26.3. Therefore, we dismiss the appeal for lack of
jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
PER CURIAM
Submitted on July 13, 2022 Opinion Delivered July 14, 2022
