Opinion
NUMBER 13-18-00632-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
IN THE INTEREST OF L.S., A MINOR CHILD
On appeal from the County Court at Law #5 of Nueces County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Longoria Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on appellant’s first motion for extension of time to
file its brief. This Court, having fully examined and considered appellant’s motion is of
the opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant’s first motion for extension of time to
file its brief should be granted with order. The Court, however, requires strict adherence
to the briefing rules in appeals of parental termination cases, such as this appeal, and
looks with disfavor upon the delay caused by such extension requests. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 38.6; see also id. at R. 28.4. The Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART appellant’s first motion for
extension of time. This motion is GRANTED insofar as the Court will extend appellant’s
deadline to file the brief for twenty (20) days. This motion is DENIED insofar as the Court
will not allow an extension of sixty (60) days as requested. Further motions for extension
of time will not be favorably entertained by this Court, absent extraordinary
circumstances.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the 3rd day of January, 2019.
