Opinion
IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-20-00152-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF P.E., A CHILD
From the County Court at Law No. 2 Johnson County, Texas Trial Court No. CC-D20190070
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant attempts to appeal the trial court's Order of Termination signed on
March 5, 2020. Because an appeal in a parental rights termination case is governed by the
rules of appellate procedure for accelerated appeals, the notice of appeal was due March
25, 2020. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(b); 28.4(a)(1). Appellant's notice of appeal was not filed
until June 3, 2020.
The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services filed a Motion to Dismiss
this appeal because appellant’s notice of appeal is untimely.
More than 10 days have passed, and appellant has not responded to the
Department’s motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.3(a). Accordingly, the Department’s Motion to Dismiss is granted, and this appeal is
dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
