In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-23-00221-CV __________________ IN THE INTEREST OF A.E. __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 279th District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. C-240,683 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On May 18, 2023, the trial court signed an order terminating the parental rights of L.M.1 to her child, A.E. On July 3, 2023, L.M. filed a notice of appeal. We questioned our jurisdiction. L.M. filed a response but did not establish that the notice of appeal had been timely filed. An appeal is accelerated in a case where the trial court ordered termination of parental rights. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. §§ 109.002(a-1), 263.405(a); see also Tex. We refer to the appellant and the minor by their initials. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 109.002(d); Tex. R. App. P. 9.8(b)(2). 1 1 R. App. P. 28.4(a)(1). Accordingly, a notice of appeal is due twenty days after the trial court signs the final order. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(b), 28.1(b). The appellant has not shown that she filed a notice of appeal within the time authorized for perfecting an accelerated appeal or for requesting an extension of time to file a notice of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(b), 26.3. Therefore, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f). APPEAL DISMISSED. PER CURIAM Submitted on August 9, 2023 Opinion Delivered August 10, 2023 Before Golemon, C.J., Horton and Wright, JJ. 2
