COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH NO. 02-18-00002-CV ESTATE OF LINDA KATINA STATUM FROEHLE, DECEASED ---------FROM PROBATE COURT NO. 1 OF TARRANT COUNTY TRIAL COURT NO. 2016-PR00096-1 ---------- MEMORANDUM OPINION 1 ---------Appellant Trebor J. Froehle, also known as John T. Froehle, attempts to appeal these three trial court orders: “Order Probating Holographic Will, Granting Dependent Administration and Authorizing Letters of Administration,” signed May 25, 2016; “Order Approving Inventory, Appraisement, and List of Claims,” signed January 24, 2017; and “Order Ratifying Sale and Disposal of Personal Property,” 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. signed January 26, 2017. His notice of appeal was not filed until November 9, 2017, making it untimely as to all three orders. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1. We notified Appellant of our concern that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal based on the untimely filed notice of appeal and warned that we could dismiss this appeal absent a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 44.3. Appellant’s response does not show grounds for continuing the appeal. The time for filing a notice of appeal is jurisdictional in this court, and absent a timely filed notice of appeal or timely filed motion for extension, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(b), 26.3; Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997). Because Appellant's notice of appeal was filed too late, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1, 42.3(a), 43.2(f). PER CURIAM PANEL: PITTMAN, J.; SUDDERTH, C.J.; and BIRDWELL, J. DELIVERED: April 12, 2018 2
