TENTH COURT OF APPEALS










 

No. 10-10-00159-CV
 
In
the Interest of J.W., a Child,
 
 
 

From the 18th District
Court
Johnson County, Texas
Trial Court No. D200905258
 

MEMORANDUM  Opinion

 




We abated this appeal for a hearing in
the trial court to determine, among other things, if Appellant had abandoned
this appeal.  The hearing was held on January 31, 2011, and the reporter’s
record from the hearing reflects that Appellant did not attend the hearing. 
The trial court entered an order finding that Appellant has abandoned this
appeal.
In a letter dated February 15, 2011, the
Clerk of this Court notified Appellant that, unless he filed a response showing
grounds for continuing this appeal within ten days, this appeal would be
dismissed for want of prosecution.  Appellant has not responded.  Accordingly,
we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).
