TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant M.M.G. filed his notice of appeal on December 5, 2018. The appellate
record was complete December 18, 2018, making appellant’s brief due January 7, 2019. On
January 10, 2019, counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant’s
brief.

extensions. In this instance, we will grant the motion in part and order counsel to file appellant’s
brief no later than January 31, 2019. If the brief is not filed by that date, counsel may be
required to show cause why she should not be held in contempt of court.
It is ordered on January 15, 2019. Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Kelly and Smith
