District Court OF Tarrant COUNTY

MEMORANDUM
OPINION[1]
----------
            Appellant
Father attempts to appeal from a June 14, 2012 order terminating his
parental rights to his son, D.S.B.  On August 22, 2012, we notified Father
of our concern that we lack jurisdiction over this accelerated appeal because
the notice of appeal was due July 5, 2012, but was not filed until August 17,
2012.  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(b); see also Tex. R. App. P.
28.1(b) (providing that a post-trial motion will not extend the time to perfect
an accelerated appeal); In re K.A.F., 160 S.W.3d 923, 927 (Tex.), cert.
denied, 546 U.S. 961 (2005) (reasoning that a rule 26.1(a) motion will not
extend the deadline to file notice of an accelerated appeal).  We informed
Father that this appeal may be dismissed for want of jurisdiction unless he or
any party desiring to continue the appeal filed with the court on or before
September 4, 2012, a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal. 
Father did not file a response.  Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want
of jurisdiction.  See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
