From the 285th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2018PA00621
Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding
ORDER
This is an accelerated appeal from a trial court's order terminating appellant Mother's parental rights. Mother's brief was due on April 23, 2019, and on that day, counsel for Mother filed a motion requesting an extension of time of twenty days. In the motion, Mother's counsel states he needs more time to prepare the brief due to workload obligations.
After consideration, we GRANT counsel's motion for extension of time to file a brief and ORDER that counsel file the brief on or before May 13, 2019. Counsel is reminded that this court is mandated to dispose of appeals involving termination of parental rights within 180 days from the date the notice of appeal is filed. TEX. R. JUD. ADMIN. 6.2. Accordingly, any delay in the filing of the brief encroaches upon our time for disposition, and further requests for extensions of time will be disfavored.
