TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES, Appellant v. CARLOTTA HOWARD, Appellee
On Appeal from the 160th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-11-13467
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant's July 22, 2013 unopposed motion to extend time to file appellant's brief. Appellant's brief was due in this accelerated appeal on July 21, 2013. Appellant requests a thirty day extension of time to file its brief because it did not receive the postcard notices sent to appellant regarding the filing of the record. Because this is an accelerated appeal, we GRANT appellant's motion to the extent that appellant's brief is due TWENTY DAYS from the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P 38.6 (appellant's brief is due twenty days after complete record is filed in an accelerated appeal).
