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.
