IN THE INTEREST OF M.C.L.V, A CHILD
From the 438th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020-PA-01657 Kimberly Burley, Judge Presiding
Sitting: Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
ORDER
Rebeca C. Martinez, Chief Justice
On September 8, 2021, this court issued an opinion and order dismissing this appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the trial court had not entered a final, appealable order. On September 8, 2021, appellant filed a motion for rehearing, asking this court to reinstate the appeal on our docket. On September 27, 2021, the trial court clerk filed a supplemental clerk's record, which contains a final order signed by the trial court on August 3, 2021. Accordingly, we GRANT appellant's motion for rehearing, WITHDRAW our opinion and order dated September 8, 2021, and REINSTATE this appeal. Appellant's brief is due no later than twenty days from the date of this order.
This is an accelerated appeal of an order terminating the appellant's parental rights, which must be disposed of by this court within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal was filed. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2. Here, because the notice of appeal was prematurely filed, the notice of appeal is deemed filed on August 3, 2021, which is the date the trial court signed the final order. See Tex. R. App. P. 27.1(a).
