In the Interest of R.W., a Child


314th District Court of Harris County No. 2020-00702J

ORDER

April Farris, Judge

Appellant, mother, has filed a notice of appeal of the trial court's June 7, 2021 Final Decree for Termination. Mother's brief was due on August 2, 2021. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a). On July 30, 2021, mother, through counsel, filed a motion for extension of time to file her appellant's brief. The motion requests that we extend the deadline for filing mother's brief to August 27, 2021.

Mother's motion is granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.3(a)(1) ("A court should not hear or determine a motion until 10 days after the motion was filed, unless the motion is to extend time to file a brief . . ."). Mother's brief is due no later than August 27, 2021.

Because this appeal involves the termination of the parent-child relationship, this Court is required to bring the appeal to final disposition within 180 days of June 28, 2021, the date the notice of appeal was filed, so far as reasonably possible. See TEX. R. JUD. ADMIN. 6.2, reprinted in TEX. GOV'T. CODE ANN., tit. 2, subtit. F app. Accordingly, no further extensions of time will be granted absent extraordinary circumstances.

It is so ORDERED.
