in the Interest of G.P.C., a Child ( 2015 )

Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-14-00838-CV
In the INTEREST OF G.P.C., a Child
From the 285th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2007EM501481
Honorable Eric Rodriguez, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Jason Pulliam, Justice
Delivered and Filed: January 21, 2015
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
On December 3, 2014, Alronce J. Comeaux filed a notice of appeal, complaining of the
trial court’s August 17, 2007, Order In Suit Affecting The Parent-Child Relationship. Comeaux
did not file a notice of appeal or a motion for extension of time to file the notice of appeal within
the time allowed by the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1, 26.3. A
timely notice of appeal must be filed in order to invoke this court’s jurisdiction. See Sweed v. Nye,
323 S.W.3d 873 (Tex. 2010). “Once the period for granting a motion for extension of time under
Rule [26.3] has passed, a party can no longer invoke the appellate court’s jurisdiction.” Id.
We ordered Comeaux to file a response by January 5, 2015, showing cause why this appeal
should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, and advised him the appeal would be dismissed if
he failed to satisfactorily respond within the time provided. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3(a), (c).
04-14-00838-CV
Comeaux has not filed a response to our order. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of
jurisdiction.
