In the Court of Appeals Second Appellate District of Texas at Fort Worth ___________________________ No. 02-25-00185-CV ___________________________ IN THE INTEREST OF J.L., A CHILD

On Appeal from the 231st District Court Tarrant County, Texas Trial Court No. 231-672527-19

Before Wallach, J.; Sudderth, C.J.; and Walker, J.

Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion MEMORANDUM OPINION In April 2025, Appellant J.H., pro se, filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s March 2020 “Order Establishing the Parent–Child Relationship.” In the absence of a timely filed notice of appeal, we do not have jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.1(b), 26.1(a); Naaman v. Grider, 126 S.W.3d 73, 74 (Tex. 2003). Accordingly, we notified Appellant of our concern that we did not have jurisdiction over the appeal because the notice of appeal had not been timely filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1. We cautioned him that unless he or any other party filed with this court a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, the appeal could be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Appellant filed a response asserting that his appeal “arises from judicial proceedings conducted on April 17, 2025.” However, he did not provide the court with any new order or judgment signed by the trial court, and a clerk of this court confirmed with the trial court clerk that no new order or judgment has been signed.

Because Appellant’s notice of appeal was untimely, we have no jurisdiction over this appeal, and we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a), 43.2(f); De La Mora v. De La Mora, No. 02-15-00012-CV, 2015 WL 1119749, at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Mar. 12, 2015, no pet.) (per curiam) (mem. op.).
