In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-22-00341-CV IN THE INTEREST OF A.C., A CHILD On Appeal from the County Court At Law No. 1 Kaufman County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 107543-CC ORDER Mother’s brief in this parental termination appeal is overdue despite Mother’s counsel’s representation, at a trial court hearing held June 21, 2022 to determine why the brief had not been filed by the original and first extended deadlines, that the brief would be filed by July 14. Accordingly, given the accelerated nature of this appeal, we ORDER Casey T.

New counsel shall be cautioned that Mother’s brief must be filed no later than August 15, 2022 as no extensions will be granted absent dire circumstances.

A supplemental clerk’s record containing a copy of the order of appointment and a supplemental reporter’s record of any hearing held pursuant to this order shall be filed no later than July 28, 2022.

We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order to the Honorable Tracy Gray, Presiding Judge of County Court at Law No. 1; Kaufman County District Clerk Rhonda Hughey; Shelley L. Dearing, Official Court Reporter for County Court at Law No. 1; Mr. Boyd; Mother, at her last known address; and, remaining counsel.
