COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON
ORDER ON MOTION

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).
