IN THE INTEREST OF Y.Z., N.A.Z., J.F.Z., AND V.V.Z., CHILDREN


From the County Court at Law, Val Verde County, Texas
Trial Court No. 3814CCL
Honorable Sergio J. Gonzalez, Judge Presiding

ORDER

This is an accelerated appeal of the trial court's order terminating appellant's parental rights. Appellant's brief was originally due to be filed on October 12, 2020. On October 9, 2020, appellant filed a motion requesting an extension of time until October 23, 2020 to file the brief.

Appellant's motion states her brief is due on Tuesday, October 13, 2020, due to "a Monday holiday (Columbus Day)." However, neither the State of Texas nor Bexar County recognizes Columbus Day as a "legal holiday," and this court is open for business that day. See TEX. R. APP. P. 44.1(a) (extending appellate deadlines that fall on "a legal holiday").

The disposition of this appeal is governed by the standards set forth in Rule 6.2 of the Texas Rules of Judicial Administration. TEX. R. JUD. ADMIN. 6.2. Accordingly, this appeal is required to be brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed. Id.

The motion is GRANTED, and appellant's brief must be filed no later than October 23, 2020. Given the time constraints governing the disposition of this appeal, further requests for extensions of time will be disfavored.
