Opinion
No. 04-15-00619-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF R.J.P. AND A.R.P.
From the 79th Judicial District Court, Jim Wells County, Texas
Trial Court No. 00-01-38161-CV
Honorable Patrick Michael Garcia, Judge Presiding
ORDER
The brief of appellee the Office of the Texas Attorney General was due April 18, 2016. However, because the attorney who original represented this appellee left the Office of the Texas Attorney General without notifying this court, we continued to send notices to this attorney and such notices were apparently never received by any other attorney in the office. Moreover, the Office of the Texas Attorney General apparently never received a copy of appellant's brief until May 2, 2016. Based on the foregoing, appellee the Office of the Texas Attorney General has filed a motion to extend time to file its brief for thirty days from the date it received a copy of appellant's brief, i.e., May 2, 2016. Upon review, we GRANT the motion and ORDER appellee the Office of the Texas Attorney General to file its brief in this court on or before June 1, 2016.
We order the clerk of this court to serve a copy of this order on appellant, appellee Pruneda, and counsel for the Office of the Texas Attorney General.
