TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant J. G. filed his notice of appeal on June 1, 2022. The appellate record was
complete on June 22, 2022, making appellant’s brief due on July 12, 2022. On July 8, 2022,
counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief.

suits for termination of parental rights. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a) (providing 180 days for

extensions. In this instance, we will grant the motion and order James B. Peplinski to file
appellant’s brief no later than August 1, 2022. If the brief is not filed by that date, counsel may be
required to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court.
It is ordered on July 15, 2022. Before Justices Goodwin, Baker, and Kelly
