Lillian Ann Ward v. Stone Street Capital, LLC
Opinion
Opinion issued December 9, 2025
In The
Court of Appeals
For The
First District of Texas
Payments.” Appellant’s June 24, 2025 notice of appeal was not timely filed to invoke the jurisdiction of this Court.
We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
Absent a timely filed notice of appeal, we lack jurisdiction over an appeal.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1. Generally, a notice of appeal of a final judgment must be filed within thirty days after the entry of judgment. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1. Accordingly, in order to invoke this Court’s appellate jurisdiction over the trial court’s April 20, 2015 order, appellant was required to file a notice of appeal on or before May 20, 2015. Accordingly, appellant’s June 24, 2025 notice of appeal was not timely filed.
On October 28, 2025, the Court notified appellant that it appeared the Court lacked jurisdiction over the appeal because her notice of appeal from the trial court’s April 20, 2015 order was not timely filed. Appellant was directed to file a written response within ten days demonstrating, with citation to law and the record, that the Court had jurisdiction over the appeal.
On November 10, 2025, an unsigned response to the Court’s order was filed.
The response failed to establish that appellant’s notice of appeal was timely filed, or that the Court had jurisdiction over the appeal. Appellant’s June 24, 2025 notice of appeal was therefore not timely filed, and we lack jurisdiction over the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1(a)(1).
We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), (c), 43.2(f). All pending motions are dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Guerra, Guiney, and Johnson.
