IN THE INTEREST OF K.L.M., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 296th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 296-30084-2015
ORDER
By letter dated September 28, 2016, we notified appellant's counsel that, from a review of the Clerk's record, it appeared she had been dismissed as attorney of record for appellant upon entry of final judgment. Because she had filed the notice of appeal on behalf of appellant, we directed her to provide, within seven days, written verification that she represented appellant. Counsel has not provided the requested verification, but has filed, on behalf of appellant, a motion to extend time to file brief. We construe this filing as verification she continues to represent appellant, GRANT the extension request, and ORDER the brief be filed no later than November 8, 2016. Because this is an accelerated appeal from a judgment terminating appellant's parental rights, no further extensions will be granted absent exigent circumstances.
