MEMORANDUM OPINION

On August 18, 2009, we mailed a letter to appellant’s counsel requesting that counsel show this Court how we had jurisdiction over this appeal regarding the untimely filing of the notice of appeal. The order terminating appellant’s parental rights was signed January 23, 2009; the notice of appeal was not filed until July 20, 2009. This appeal is governed by Section 109.002 of the Texas Family Code, and is accelerated under normal appellate rules. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 109.002 (Vernon 2008). Thus, the notice of appeal was due to be filed within twenty days after the judgment was signed, no later than February 12, 2009. Tex. R. App. P. 26.1(b). In the absence of a timely notice of appeal, we have no jurisdiction to hear the appeal.
