T. R. G., Appellant v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee


FROM THE 201ST DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-FM-19-008354, THE HONORABLE MAYA GUERRA GAMBLE, JUDGE PRESIDING

Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Triana and Kelly

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Appellant T. R. G. filed her notice of appeal on July 22, 2021. The appellate record was complete on August 5, 2021, making appellant's brief due on August 25, 2021. On August 9, 2021, counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant's brief.

The rules of judicial administration accelerate the final disposition of appeals from suits for termination of parental rights. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a) (providing 180 days for court's final disposition). The accelerated schedule constrains this Court's leeway in granting extensions. In this instance, we will grant the motion and order Karen Langsley to file appellant's brief no later than September 8, 2021. If the brief is not filed by that date, counsel may be required to show cause why she should not be held in contempt of court.

It is ordered.
