Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-12-00814-CV IN THE INTEREST OF M.T. From the 224th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2010-PA-01585 Honorable Fred Shannon, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice Delivered and Filed: December 28, 2012 DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION Appellant Mother seeks to appeal from an order terminating her parental rights to M.T. The clerk s record reflects that on December 8, 2011, the trial court signed an order terminating Appellant Mother s parental rights to M.T. The record reflects that in a separate order, also on December 8, 2011, the trial court terminated Appellant Father s parental rights to M.T. Thus, the notice of appeal was due to be filed by December 28, 2011. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(b). Appellant Mother did not file her notice of appeal until December 4, 2012, almost a year after the final judgment was signed in this case. Appellant Mother has filed a motion for leave to file an untimely motion for extension of time to file a notice of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b). However, we have no jurisdiction to grant such a motion. See Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997) (construing the 04-12-00814-CV predecessor to Rule 26). Therefore, we DENY appellant s motion for leave to file an untimely motion for extension of time to file a notice of appeal and DISMISS this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM -2-
