Opinion

IN THE TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-19-00029-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF B.B., B.B., AND S.B., CHILDREN

From the 278th District Court Leon County, Texas Trial Court No. 17-0491CV

ORDER

The motion to exceed the word count limit filed by the appellee on May 7, 2019

has been considered by the Court. The motion is granted. The Department of Family

and Protective Service's brief with 1,717 words in excess of the 15,000 word limit has been

filed. These excess words will be deducted from the authorized word limit of any future

filing in this proceeding by the appellee.

The Court has noted that the brief filed by the appellee uses aliases that are

different from those used by the appellant.1 See, generally, Tex. R. App. P. 9.8(b). In all

1For the mother, father, and three children, the appellant used the aliases "Hannah," "Stephen," "Bart," "Brandon," and "Sam," respectively. For the same parties, for no apparent reason the appellee used the future filings, if the use of aliases is necessary, the appellee is ordered to use the same

aliases as the appellant to avoid unnecessary confusion.2

PER CURIAM

Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Davis, and Justice Neill Motion granted Order delivered and filed May 22, 2019

aliases "Hazel," "Sid," "Ben," "Bill," and "Seth," respectively. None of these names are the actual names of the parents or children. We see no justification for the appellee to unnecessarily complicate the briefing in this case by using different aliases.

2But for the severe time constraints within which this appeal must be concluded, the Court would strike the brief and order it redrawn using the aliases used by the appellant.
