NUMBER 13-21-00229-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
IN THE INTEREST OF A.D.A., A CHILD
On appeal from the 430th District Court
of Hidalgo County, Texas.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Silva
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on appellant’s motion for a ten day extension to file
appellant’s brief. Appellant’s brief is currently due on October 1, 2021.
The Court, having fully examined and considered appellant’s motion is of the
opinion that the motion should be granted. The Court, however, requires strict adherence
to the briefing rules in appeals of parental termination cases, such as this appeal, and
looks with disfavor upon the delay caused by such extension requests. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 38.6; see also id. at R. 28.4.
It is therefore ordered that the Honorable Victoria Guerra, counsel for appellant,
file the appellate brief with this Court by October 12, 2021. Further motions for extension
of time will not be favorably entertained by this Court, absent extraordinary
circumstances.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed on the
5th day of October, 2021.
