the adoption of the children the subject of this suit. See TEX. R. APP. P. 28.4 (accelerating appeals
in parental termination cases); TEX. R. JUD. ADMIN. 6.2(a) (requiring appellate courts to dispose
of an appeal from an order terminating parental rights within 180 days of the date the notice of
appeal is filed). Appellant filed her notice of appeal on November 7, 2016, and her brief on
January 18, 2017. The appellees’ briefs were due on February 7, 2017. One of the appellees, the
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, filed its brief on February 3, 2017.
Two of the appellees have filed a motion asking for an extension of time to March 7,
2017 to file their brief. The motion is GRANTED. However, NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS
will be granted. If the appellees fail to file their brief by March 7, 2017, this appeal will be
set for submission without their brief.
