Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: In the Interest of M.A., a child Appellate case number: 01-13-00558-CV Trial court case number: 2012-01475J Trial court: 315th District Court of Harris County This is an appeal of a termination decree. Appellant is presumed indigent. The record was originally due in this appeal on July 8, 2013. The court reporter requested, and received, a day extension to file the record, with no further extensions. The district clerk has not filed the clerk’s record or requested an extension.

Accordingly, the Harris County District Clerk is ORDERED to file the complete clerk’s record in this appeal within 10 days of the date of this order. No extensions will be granted.

See TEX. R. APP. P. 35.3(c).

Because this is a termination case, the Court is required to bring this appeal to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal was filed so far as reasonably possible. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2, reprinted in TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN., tit. 2, subtit. F app. (West Supp. 2012). For this reason, the parties are informed that appellant’s brief will be due 20 days after the complete record is filed, and appellee’s brief will be due 20 days after appellant’s brief is filed. No extensions of time to file the briefs will be granted absent extraordinary circumstances. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(d).

It is so ORDERED.
