Michael A. Tupper of Tupper Law, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellant.
Ward L. Metzger, Appellate Counsel, Children's Legal Services, Jacksonville, for Appellee.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Upon consideration of Appellant's response to the Court's order of February 12, 2019, the Court has determined that its jurisdiction to review the Final Judgment for Termination of Parental Rights, rendered on December 4, 2018, was not invoked in a timely fashion. Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The dismissal is without prejudice to the Appellant's right to seek relief in the trial court. In the Interest of E.H. , 609 So. 2d 1289 (Fla. 1992).
Roberts, Ray, and Jay, JJ., concur.
