TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-17-00197-CV NO. 03-17-00198-CV D. W., Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM PROBATE COURT NO. 1 OF TRAVIS COUNTY NOS. C-1-MH-17-000011 & C-1-MH-17-000081 HONORABLE GUY S. HERMAN, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION The trial court’s judgment in this case was signed on January 18, 2017. An appeal from an order requiring court-ordered mental health services must be filed not later than the tenth day after the date on which the order is signed. See Tex. Health & Safety Code §§ 574.070, .108. Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed March 8. After reviewing the record on appeal, the Clerk of this Court advised appellant that his notice of appeal appeared to be untimely and requested that he supply, no later than April 27, (1) proof of timely mailing of the notice of appeal, or (2) an affidavit swearing that this filing was mailed to the district clerk’s office on or before February 7. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b). The notification also cautioned appellant that his appeals might be dismissed if the Court did not received his response by the deadline. Appellant has not responded. Under these circumstances, we must dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a). __________________________________________ David Puryear, Justice Before Justices Puryear, Pemberton, and Goodwin Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: May 4, 2017 2
