                     On Appeal from the 88th District Court
                            Hardin County, Texas
                            Trial Cause No. 1661
________________________________________________________________________

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On August 25, 2015, J.L.M. filed a notice of appeal from a judgment that the

trial court signed on October 25, 2013. We notified the parties that the appeal

would be dismissed because the notice of appeal was filed too late to perfect an

appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1; see also In re G.C.F., 42 S.W.3d 194, 196 (Tex.

App.—Fort Worth 2001, no pet.) (a notice of appeal concerning matters arising out

of a juvenile adjudication proceeding is due within thirty days of the signing of the

original disposition order). The appellant filed a response in which he states that he



                                          1
desires to pursue an appeal, but does not establish that the notice of appeal was

timely filed.

      The appellant failed to file a notice of appeal within the time for which we

may grant an extension of time to perfect an appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. We

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
