On Appeal from the 317th District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. C-205,967-D __________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On February 21, 2023, the trial court signed a final order terminating the

parental rights of J.D. to her minor children, J.D.R, I.M.R., and Z.F.R. On May 12,

2023, J.D. filed a notice of appeal. We notified the parties that the notice of appeal

had been filed outside the time for which an extension of time may be granted for

filing a notice of appeal, and we warned the appellant that we would dismiss the

appeal for lack of jurisdiction unless grounds were shown for continuing the appeal.

J.D. responded to our correspondence but failed to establish that she invoked the

jurisdiction of this Court in a timely manner.

1 The Court finds that the notice of appeal was not timely filed. See Tex. R.

App. P. 26.1(b). No motion for extension of time was timely filed. See id. 26.3. The

appellant has not established that the appeal may proceed as a restricted appeal. See

id. 26.1(c), 30. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See id.

42.3(a), 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
