Opinion
Order entered January 13, 2023
In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-22-01183-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF D.J., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 219th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 219-56625-2020
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s motion for extension of time to file his brief,
which is currently due February 8, 2023. Appellant seeks a thirty-day extension
and explains the extension is necessary “mainly” because the trial court has not
filed findings of fact and conclusions of law as requested.
We note the appealed judgment was signed October 8, 2022, and the online
docket sheet reflects the findings and conclusions were requested January 11,
2023. Under Texas Rules of Civil Procedure 296 and 297, a trial court is not
required to file findings of fact and conclusions of law unless the request is filed
within twenty days of the date of judgment. See TEX. R. CIV. P. 296, 297. Accordingly, to the extent appellant seeks an extension to allow the trial court to
file findings and conclusions, we DENY the motion. We GRANT the motion to
the extent an extension is otherwise necessary and ORDER the brief be filed no
later than March 10, 2023.
