Honorable Martha Tanner, Judge Presiding
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice
Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Marialyn Barnard, Justice
Delivered and Filed: February 9, 2011
DISMISSED
Joseph R. filed a notice of appeal from the trial court’s judgment terminating his parental
rights. He did not file a statement of appellate points in the trial court. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN.
§ 263.405(c) (West 2008) (requiring a party intending to appeal a final termination order to file a
statement of appellate points in the trial court not later than the fifteenth day after the final order
is signed by the trial court). Accordingly, we ordered him to file by December 27, 2010, a list of
the issues he intends to raise on appeal, including a brief summary of the grounds supporting
each issue. See id. § 263.405(i) (“appellate court may not consider any issue that was not
specifically presented to the trial court in a timely filed statement of the points on which the
party intends to appeal...”); Interest of J.O.A., 283 S.W.3d 336 (Tex. 2009)(explaining

circumstances under which due process authorizes consideration of issues not included in
statement of appellate points). When appellant failed to comply with our order, we again ordered
him to file a list of the issues he intended to raise on appeal, and advised appellant that if he
failed to do so by January 20, 2011, the appeal would be dismissed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.3.
Appellant has not filed a list of issues or otherwise responded to our orders. We therefore
dismiss the appeal.
