IN THE INTEREST OF J.P. AND J.P., MINOR CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 245th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2010-81181
ORDER
Appellant A.B. filed a brief on May 11, 2017. We struck that brief on August
1, 2017, because it did not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.1. We
ordered A.B. to file a compliant brief by August 31, 2017. We cautioned that if A.B.
failed to file a compliant brief by that date, we may dismiss the appeal for want of
prosecution. No brief or motion for extension of time has been filed.
Hurricane Harvey struck the Texas coast on August 25, 2017. On August 28,
2017, the Supreme Court of Texas issued Misc. Docket No. 17-9091, an emergency
order directing all courts in Texas to consider disaster-related delays as good cause
for modifying or suspending all deadlines in any case.
Accordingly, A.B. is ordered to file a brief that complies with the Texas Rules
of Appellate Procedure by October 2, 2017. If A.B. does not file such a brief, the
court will dismiss the appeal for want of prosecution. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(b).
