Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
August 10, 2015
No. 04-15-00404-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF D.T.C.L. AND B.J.K.,
From the 288th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2014-PA-00985
Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding
ORDER
The Texas Rules of Judicial Administration require this court to “ensure that the appeal is
brought to final disposition . . . [w]ithin 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed.” TEX.
R. JUD. ADM. 6.2(a). This accelerated appeal from the termination of appellant’s parental rights
has been pending since the notice of appeal was filed in the trial court on June 30, 3015.
Appellant’s brief was originally due on August 5, 2015. On August 5, 2015, appointed counsel,
Mr. Manuel C. Rodriguez, Jr., filed a motion for extension of time stating he “requires additional
time to investigate the issues involved with this appeal.” Mr. Rodriguez requested an extension
until August 25, 2015.
The request for an extension of time is GRANTED and Mr. Rodriguez is ORDERED to
file appellant’s brief no later than August 25, 2015. Because this is an accelerated appeal from
an order terminating appellant’s parental rights, no further extensions of time will be granted.
