COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH

NO. 2-10-143-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF K.A.V. AND C.-S.A.V., CHILDREN ------------ FROM THE 362ND DISTRICT COURT OF DENTON COUNTY ------------ MEMORANDUM OPINION 1 ------------ Appellant A.L.V. attempts to appeal from the trial court’s default judgment signed March 15, 2010. Because an appeal from a case in which termination of parental rights is an issue is accelerated, 2 Appellant’s notice of appeal was due April 5, 2010.3 But Appellant did not file his notice of appeal until May 6, 2010, which was untimely. 4 On May 12, 2010, we notified Appellant that his appeal was subject to

 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.  See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 109.002(a) (Vernon 2009).  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(b), 28.1(b).  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(b). dismissal for want of jurisdiction unless, by May 24, 2010, he filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. 5 Appellant’s response indicates that “[a]t this point of time, [he] would rather not pursue any legal matters involving [his] children.”

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal and Appellant’s pending motion for want of jurisdiction. 6
