MEMORANDUM OPINION

B.A.W. filed a notice of appeal on August 4, 2022. The notice of appeal

referred to a judgment signed in October 2019. We notified the parties that B.A.W.

had filed notice of appeal outside the time allowed for an extension and warned the

appellant that the appeal would be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction unless he

showed grounds for continuing the appeal. B.A.W. failed to respond to the Court’s

notice.

In a civil case, the time to appeal begins when there is a signed judgment or

appealable written order. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1. B.A.W filed a notice of appeal

1 more than thirty days after the trial court signed the judgment that B.A.W. seeks to

appeal and outside the period of time in which we may exercise discretion and grant

an extension of time to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. B.A.W. has not identified

another, more recent, appealable judgment order. We dismiss the appeal for lack of

jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
