TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-22-00019-CV
C. G., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 424TH DISTRICT COURT OF BURNET COUNTY
NO. 50416, THE HONORABLE EVAN C. STUBBS, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant C. G. filed her notice of appeal on January 5, 2022. The appellate
record was complete on January 31, 2022, making appellant’s brief due on February 22, 2022.
On February 22, 2022, counsel for appellant submitted a motion for extension of time to file
appellant’s brief.
The rules of judicial administration accelerate the final disposition of appeals
from suits for termination of parental rights. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a) (providing 180 days
for court’s final disposition). The accelerated schedule constrains this Court’s leeway in granting
extensions. In this instance, we will grant the motion and order Gary E. Prust to file appellant’s
brief no later than March 4, 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 February 24, 2022.
Before Justices Goodwin, Baker and Triana
