In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-13-00817-CV TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES, Appellant V. CARLOTTA HOWARD, Appellee On Appeal from the 160th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DC-11-13467 ORDER Before the Court is appellant’s July 22, 2013 unopposed motion to extend time to file appellant’s brief. Appellant’s brief was due in this accelerated appeal on July 21, 2013.

Appellant requests a thirty day extension of time to file its brief because it did not receive the postcard notices sent to appellant regarding the filing of the record. Because this is an accelerated appeal, we GRANT appellant’s motion to the extent that appellant’s brief is due TWENTY DAYS from the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P 38.6 (appellant’s brief is due twenty days after complete record is filed in an accelerated appeal).
