IN THE INTEREST OF S.Q.-M.B., a Child
From the 407th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2023PA00202 Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
This is an accelerated appeal of the trial court's order terminating appellant's parental rights. The appellant's brief was originally due on June 10, 2024. On June 10, 2024, appellant filed a motion requesting an extension of time to file the brief. We granted the motion, extending the deadline to file the brief to June 19, 2024. As of the date of this order, neither the brief nor a second motion for extension of time has been filed.
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. We therefore ORDER appellant's appointed appellate attorney, Mr. Manuel C. Rodriguez Jr., to file appellant's brief by July 1, 2024. If the brief is not filed by such date, this appeal will be abated to the trial court for a hearing to determine if new appellate counsel should be appointed and to consider whether sanctions should be imposed against Mr. Rodriguez for failing to timely file appellant's brief.
It is so ORDERED.
