COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

ORDER ON MOTION Cause number: 01-15-01025-CV Style: In the Matter of J.G., Respondent Date motion filed*: January 27, 2016 Type of motion: Second Motion to Extend Time to File Appellate Brief Party filing motion: Appellant Document to be filed: Appellant’s Brief

Is appeal accelerated? Yes (juvenile certification).

If motion to extend time: Original due date: January 11, 2016 Number of extensions granted: 1 Current Due Date: January 27, 2016 Date Requested: February 1, 2016

Ordered that motion is:  Granted If document is to be filed, document due: February 1, 2016.  No further extensions of time will be granted absent extraordinary circumstances.  Denied  Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)  Other: _____________________________________ Because appellant’s counsel stated that she seeks only a 5-day extension to file her brief since, among other reasons, this is one of the first juvenile certification appeals allowed under the new interlocutory appeal statute, her second extension is granted until February 1, 2016. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 56.01(h-1) (West Supp. 2015); TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b)(1)(C), 38.6(d). However, because this accelerated appeal is to be disposed of within 180 days of the filing of the notice of appeal, counsel is warned that no further extensions will be granted absent extraordinary circumstances. See Order, Misc. Docket No. 15–9156, ¶ III(a) (Tex. Aug. 28, 2015).
