These appeals involve parental-termination cases. Appellants, G.R.R. and K.X.J.L. aka K.L., Sr., filed their briefs on January 8, 2018. The brief of appellee, Department of Family & Protective Service (“DFPS”), was due to be filed by January 29, 2018. On February 9, 2018, DFPS filed an unopposed motion for an extension of time to March 12, 2018 to file its brief. We grant the motion in part. DFPS’s brief is due to be filed in these appeals no later than Monday, March 5, 2018. No further extensions will be granted. See TEX. R. APP. P. 28.4(a), 38.6(b), (c). Because these appeals involve parental-termination cases, this Court is required to bring the appeals to final disposition within 180 days of October 9, 2017, the date the first notice of appeal was filed in each appeal, so far as reasonably possible. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2, reprinted in TEX. GOV’T. CODE ANN., tit. 2, subtit. F app. (Vernon Supp. 2017). It is so ORDERED.
