In the Matter of the Marriage of
John Charles Daly, Jr. and Mattie Gene Daly
On appeal from the
414th District Court of McLennan County, Texas
Judge Ryan Luna, presiding
Trial Court Cause No. 2025-3139-5
CHIEF JUSTICE JOHNSON delivered the opinion of the Court.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, John Charles Daly, Jr., filed a notice of appeal in the trial
court on June 25, 2026, appealing the final decree of divorce signed by the trial
court on May 7, 2026. Cross-Appellant, Mattie Gene Daly, filed a notice of
appeal in the trial court dated July 1, 2026. No motion for new trial or other
filing that would extend the time to file a notice of appeal was filed in the trial
court by either party. By letter from the Clerk of this Court dated July 6, 2026,
Appellant and Cross-Appellant were informed that the notices of appeal both
appear to be untimely and that the appeal and cross-appeal would be dismissed
without further notice unless a response was filed showing grounds for
continuing the appeal on or before July 16, 2026. No response has been filed
by Appellant or Cross-Appellant.
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction and for
failure to follow a directive of the Clerk of this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P.
42.3(b), (c).
