H. G., Appellant v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 424TH DISTRICT COURT OF BURNET COUNTY NO. 51641, THE HONORABLE FRANK E. GRIFFIN, JUDGE PRESIDING
Before Justices Goodwin, Baker, and Kelly
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant H. G. filed her notice of appeal on June 16, 2022. The appellate record was complete on July 8, 2022, making appellant's brief due on July 28, 2022. On July 28, 2022, counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant's brief.
The rules of judicial administration accelerate the final disposition of appeals from suits for termination of parental rights. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a) (providing 180 days for court's final disposition). The accelerated schedule constrains this Court's leeway in granting extensions. In this instance, we will grant the motion in part and order Maria Peña to file appellant's brief no later than August 16, 2022. If the brief is not filed by that date, counsel may be required to show cause why she should not be held in contempt of court.
It is ordered on August 1, 2022.
