Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-22-00759-CV
A. B., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 250TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-FM-21-002232, THE HONORABLE LORA J. LIVINGSTON, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant A. B. filed his notice of appeal on November 18, 2022. The appellate
record was complete on December 7, 2022, making appellant’s brief due on January 17, 2023. On
January 17, 2023, 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 J. Langsley to file appellant’s
brief no later than January 23, 2023. 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 on January 20, 2023.
Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Triana and Kelly
