MEMORANDUM OPINION

On May 19, 2025, the Court notified the parties that Lenette Foster filed her

notice of appeal outside the time for which an extension of time may be granted for

perfecting an appeal. We warned the parties that the appeal would be dismissed for

lack of jurisdiction unless grounds were shown for continuing the appeal. Foster

responded to the notice, but she failed to establish that she invoked the jurisdiction

of this Court in a timely manner.

1
The Court finds that the notice of appeal was not timely filed. See Tex. R.

App. P. 26.1(b). No motion for extension of time was timely filed. See id. 26.3.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See id. 42.3(a), 43.2(f).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
