On June 6, 2016, Mr. Sheffield filed a motion to extend time in which to file appellant’s brief.

We GRANT the motion and Mr. Sheffield is hereby ORDERED to file appellant’s brief no later than June 26, 2016.

Mr. Sheffield is reminded that, because this is an accelerated appeal of the trial court’s order terminating appellant’s parental rights, Rule 6.2 of the Texas Rules of Judicial Administration mandates that this appeal be brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed. TEX. R. JUD. ADMIN. 6.2. This mandated deadline cannot be re-set or extended by this court.
