Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals

San Antonio, Texas

April 2, 2015

No. 04-15-00063-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF Z.R.M., child,

From the 38th Judicial District Court, Medina County, Texas Trial Court No. 13-11-22140-CV The Honorable Cathy Morris, Judge Presiding

ORDER

Court reporter Debra Gifford has filed a motion for extension of time until April 6, 2015 to file the record in this appeal from an order terminating parental rights. The record in this appeal was due February 17, 2015. We previously denied a motion by Gifford that requested an extension until April 6, explaining to her that she was required to give this appeal priority over all other work.

The motion is DENIED. We order Gifford to prepare and file the record immediately.

See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 109.002(a) (West 2014)(appeal in which termination of the parentchild relationship is in issue is accelerated and takes precedence over all other cases); TEX. R. APP. P. 28.4(b)(1)(when notice of appeal from order terminating parental rights is filed, court reporter must immediately commence preparation of record); TEX. R. APP. P. 28.4(b)(2), 35.3(c)(court of appeals may not grant reporter extension of more than ten days at a time or more than thirty days cumulatively in termination appeal).
