in the Interest of P.L-W., a Child ( 2016 )

Order entered June 3, 2016 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-16-00524-CV IN THE INTEREST OF P.L-W., A CHILD On Appeal from the 255th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-15-17767 ORDER Before the Court is appellee’s May 31, 2016 motion to dismiss the appeal. Appellee contends this Court lacks jurisdiction because appellant’s notice of appeal was untimely. The appealed order was signed on February 24, 2016. After filing a timely motion for new trial, appellant filed a notice of accelerated appeal in the trial court on April 29, 2016 and an amended notice of appeal removing the accelerated designation in the trial court on May 3, 2016. The Court has reviewed the clerk’s record and determined that this appeal is not accelerated. Accordingly, the deadline to file a notice of appeal was May 24, 2016. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a). Because appellant timely filed her notice of appeal, we DENY appellee’s motion. /s/ CRAIG STODDART JUSTICE
