MEMORANDUM OPINION
No. 04-07-00371-CV
THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR THE BEST INTEREST AND PROTECTION OF D.G.S.
From the Probate Court No. 1, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2007-MH-1080 Honorable Oscar Kazen, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Alma L. López, Chief Justice
Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice
Phylis J. Speedlin, Justice
Delivered and Filed: April 2, 2008
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
D.G.S. seeks to appeal the trial court's order imposing court-ordered extended mental health services for D.G.S. The trial court signed its order on May 18, 2007; therefore, the notice of appeal was due to be filed on May 28, 2007. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 574.070 (Vernon 2003) (requiring notice of appeal to be filed ten days after the date on which the order is signed). The notice of appeal was not filed until May 29, 2007. Because D.G.S.'s attorney asserted that she had not received notice that the judgment was signed and did not acquire actual knowledge until May 31, 2007, we abated this appeal to the trial court for a hearing to determine the date notice was received or actual knowledge was acquired. Tex. R. Civ. P. 306a. The trial court found that D.G.S. acquired actual knowledge on May 18, 2007. Because this is the only reason given for the untimely filed notice of appeal, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
