Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas May 21, 2021 No. 04-21-00134-CV IN THE INTEREST OF A.L.B., A CHILD, From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020PA00106 Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding

ORDER Appellant’s notice of appeal was filed within fifteen days after the deadline but without a motion for extension of time to file the notice. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1, 26.3. On April 30, 2021, we ordered Appellant to file a written response presenting a reasonable explanation for the late notice of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3, 10.5(b)(1)(C); Verburgt v. Dorner, 959 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Tex. 1997).

Appellant timely filed a written response explaining the late notice of appeal; our April 30, 2021 order is satisfied. See Garcia v. Kastner Farms, Inc., 774 S.W.2d 668, 670 (Tex. 1989) (noting a “reasonable explanation” comprises all but “deliberate or intentional noncompliance”).

We reinstate the appellate timetable. Appellant’s brief is due on June 9, 2021.
