Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-22-00285-CV
A. K. and T. A., Appellants
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 201ST DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-FM-19-008463, THE HONORABLE JAN SOIFER, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellants A.K. and T.A. filed their notices of appeal on May 18, 2022. The
appellate record was complete on June 9, 2022, making appellants’ briefs due on June 29, 2022.
On June 28, 2022, counsel for A.K. 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 in part. Therefore, we order
Lisa Marie Mims and Robert Galvin to file appellants’ briefs no later than July 19, 2022. If the
briefs are not filed by that date, counsel may be required to show cause why they should not be
held in contempt of court.
It is ordered on July 8, 2022. Before Justices Goodwin, Baker, and Kelly
