TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-06-00064-CV
In the Matter of E.T.U., a Juvenile
From the County Court at Law
Walker County, Texas
Trial Court No. J05-05
MEMORANDUM OpinioN[1]
E.T.U. was adjudicated delinquent and committed to the Texas Youth Commission on January 13, 2006. He did not make any requests that would extend the time to file a notice of appeal; therefore, his notice of appeal was due February 12, 2006. Tex. R. App. P. 26.1. E.T.U. filed a notice of appeal on March 3, 2006, 19 days late.
The Clerk of this Court warned E.T.U. that because the notice of appeal appeared untimely, the Court may dismiss the appeal unless a response was filed showing grounds for continuing the appeal. E.T.U. has not filed a response.
This appeal is dismissed. Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 44.3.
