Sakai, Judge Presiding ORDER This is an accelerated appeal of the trial court’s order terminating appellant’s parental rights. The disposition of this appeal is governed by the standards set forth in Rule 6.2 of the Texas Rules of Judicial Administration. TEX. R. JUD. ADMIN. 6.2. Accordingly, this appeal is required to be brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed. Id. The appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed on November 17, 2015. On November 18, 2015, this court granted appellant’s first motion requesting an extension of time to file the brief, extending the deadline to file the brief to November 30, 2015.

On November 27, 2015, appellant filed a second motion requesting an additional seven- day extension of time to file the brief. On December 1, 2015, this court granted the extension and ordered the appellant’s brief to be filed no later than December 7, 2015. The order stated, “Given the time constraints governing the disposition of this appeal, further requests for extensions of time will be disfavored.”

If the brief is not filed by such date, an order may be issued directing Ms. Cupit to appear and show cause why she should not be held in contempt for failing to file the brief.
