IN THE INTEREST OF A.C.P, A.I.P, A.M.P., M.J.-R.P. III, AND M.C.S., children
From the 166th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2023PA01264 Honorable Kimberly Burley, Judge Presiding
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant's brief was due November 18, 2024. Neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time has been filed. On November 25, 2024, we ordered Alana Pearsall, appellant's court-appointed appellate attorney, to file appellant's brief by December 5, 2024. No brief was filed. Instead, Ms. Pearsall filed a motion for an extension of time seeking an additional six days.
We grant the motion and order appellant's brief filed by January 2, 2024. This is an accelerated appeal of an order in a suit for termination of the parent-child relationship that must be disposed of by this court within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal was filed in the trial court. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2. Because of the time constraints governing the disposition of this appeal, further requests for extensions of time will be disfavored. Appellant is advised that no extensions of time will be granted absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances. If the brief is not filed by the date ordered, the court may abate the appeal and remand the case to the trial court for a hearing to determine whether appellant or counsel has abandoned this appeal.
It is so ORDERED.
