in the Interest of A.G.K. and T.L.C., Children

Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals

San Antonio, Texas

September 23, 2016

No. 04-16-00315-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF A.G.K. AND T.L.C., CHILDREN,

From the 45th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2014PA02489 Honorable Stephani A. Walsh, Judge Presiding

ORDER

On July 28, 2016, appellants filed a brief in which they referred to the minors involved by their full names. The appellants also filed exhibits containing the minors’ full names.

On September 20, 2016, appellants filed an unopposed motion for extension of time to file a reply brief requesting until September 26, 2016, to file their reply.

The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure prohibit the filing of documents, including briefs and exhibits, in appeals involving the termination of parental rights that disclose a minor’s name or date of birth, and the rules require that such information be redacted before filing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.8(b)(1); 9.9(a)-(c). We therefore strike appellants’ brief and order appellants to refile the brief and appendix, appropriately redacted, by September 26, 2016.

Furthermore, we grant appellants' motion for extension of time and order appellants to file their reply brief by September 26, 2016.
