in the Interest of J.R.C., a Child ( 2003 )

COURT OF APPEALS
SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH NO. 2-03-217-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF J.R.C., A CHILD

---------- FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF WICHITA COUNTY ---------- MEMORANDUM OPINION⁽¹⁾ AND JUDGMENT     ----------

On July 28, 2003, we notified appellant, in accordance with appellate rule of procedure 42.3, that this court may not have jurisdiction over this appeal because it appears the notice of appeal was not timely filed. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3; see Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(b), 26.1(a)(1). We stated that the appeal would be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless appellant or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed with the court within ten days a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.

No response has been filed; therefore, it is the opinion of the court that this appeal should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3(b); Coronado v. Farming Tech., Inc., 994 S.W.2d 901, 901 (Tex. App.--Houston [1^st Dist.] 1999, order). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).
