Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas March 14, 2018 No. 04-17-00860-CV IN THE INTEREST OF B.M.M., A CHILD, From the 225th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2017-PA-00506 Honorable Richard Garcia, Judge Presiding

ORDER This is an accelerated appeal from a trial court’s order terminating appellant’s parental rights. Appellee’s brief was due on March 13, 2018, and on that day, appellee filed a motion requesting an extension of time of thirty days. In her motion, appellee’s counsel states she needs additional time to research and prepare the brief.

After consideration, we GRANT appellee’s motion for extension of time to file a brief IN PART and ORDER that appellee file her brief on or before April 2, 2018. Counsel is reminded that this court is mandated to dispose of appeals involving termination of parental rights within 180 days from the date the notice of appeal is filed. TEX. R. JUD. ADMIN. 6.2.

Accordingly, any delay in the filing of the brief encroaches upon our time for disposition, and further requests for extensions of time will be disfavored.
