                               MEMORANDUM OPINION


       Bobby Ray Kirby attempts to appeal the trial court’s order dismissing him from

the suit affecting the parent-child relationship brought by the Department of Family

and Protective Services seeking the termination of parental rights as to a child, K.W.1

By letter dated January 6, 2014, the Clerk of this Court notified Kirby that his notice of

appeal appeared untimely. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.1(b); 28.4(a)(1). In the same letter, the

Clerk warned Kirby that we would dismiss this appeal unless, within 10 days from the




1 Kirby does not appeal the termination of his parental rights as to A.W. and is not subject to an order
regarding A.N.B.
date of the letter, a response was filed showing grounds for continuing the appeal. Ten

days have passed, and we have not received a response.

        Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.2
