IN THE INTEREST OF L.A.T., A MINOR CHILD
On appeal from the 267th Judicial District Court of Victoria County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF
Before Chief Justice Contreras, Justices Benavides, and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on appellant's first motion for extension of time to file its brief. This Court, having fully examined and considered appellant's motion is of the opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant's first motion for extension of time to file its brief should be granted with order. The Court, however, requires strict adherence to the briefing rules in appeals of parental termination cases, such as this appeal, and looks with disfavor upon the delay caused by such extension requests. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6; see also id. at R. 28.4.
The Court GRANTS appellant's first motion for extension of time. This motion is GRANTED insofar as the Court will extend appellant's deadline to file the brief for twenty (20) days, by July 11, 2019. Further motions for extension of time will not be favorably entertained by this Court, absent extraordinary circumstances.
PER CURIAM Delivered and filed the 21st day of June, 2019.
