Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas May 4, 2017

No. 04-17-00237-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF G.S., A CHILD,

From the 407th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2016-PA-00112 Honorable Barbara Hanson Nellermoe, Judge Presiding

ORDER Appellant attempts to appeal from a final order terminating her parental rights. An appeal from such an order is accelerated. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 263.405(a). The trial court signed the order of termination on February 28, 2017. Because this is an accelerated appeal, the notice of appeal was due on March 20, 2017. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(b); In re K.A.F., 160 S.W.3d 923, 928 (Tex. 2005). Although appellant filed a timely motion for new trial, this motion does not extend the appellate deadline. In re K.A.F., 160 S.W.3d at 928.

It is therefore ORDERED that appellant show cause in writing within fifteen days from the date of this order why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(b); In re K.A.F., 160 S.W.3d 923, 928 (Tex. 2005). If appellant fails to respond within the time provided, the appeal will be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(c).

All other appellate deadlines are suspended until further order of this court.
