                                   S  In The
                            Court of Appeals

                   IN THE INTEREST OF J.D.F., A CHILD

               On Appeal from the 256th Judicial District Court
                            Dallas County, Texas
                    Trial Court Cause No. DF-18-18505

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
        Before Chief Justice Burns, Justice Molberg, and Justice Goldstein
                         Opinion by Chief Justice Burns
      This appeal from the trial court’s May 25, 2023 order modifying the parent-

child relationship was filed on August 10, 2023. Because the record reflected no

post-judgment motion or request for findings of fact and conclusions of law was

timely filed, it appeared the appeal was a restricted appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 30.

The notice of appeal, however, did not comply with the requirements for a notice of

restricted appeal. See id. 25.1(d)(7). Accordingly, we directed appellant to file, no

later than October 23, 2023, an amended notice of appeal that complied with the

requirements. Although we cautioned appellant that failure to comply could result
in dismissal of the appeal without further notice, appellant has not responded to date.

See id. 42.3(a), (c). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See id.
