Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice

Delivered and Filed: February 8, 2012
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
This is an appeal from a final judgment under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act.
An associate judge signed a proposed final judgment on November 5, 2010. Because no request
for a de novo hearing was filed, the judgment signed by the associate judge became the final
judgment of the trial court by operation of law no later than November 16, 2010. See TEX. FAM.
CODE ANN. §§ 201.1041(a), 201.1042(b) (West 2008); In re Office of the Attorney General, 264
S.W.3d 800, 809 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2008, orig. proceeding).
Appellant filed a timely motion to set aside the judgment. Therefore, the notice of appeal
was due on February 14, 2011. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(a). A motion for extension of time to file
04-11-00250-CV
the notice of appeal was due on March 1, 2011. See id. 26.3. Appellant did not file his notice of
appeal until March 15, 2011. Appellant did not file a motion for extension of time.
We, therefore, ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed
for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant did not respond. Thus, this appeal is dismissed for lack of
jurisdiction.
