in the Interest of I.G. Jr. and O.I.G., Children ( 2018 )

NUMBER 13-18-00114-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
IN THE INTEREST OF I.G. JR. AND O.I.G,
MINOR CHILDREN
On appeal from the 36th District Court
of San Patricio County, Texas
ORDER
Before Justices Rodriguez, Contreras, and Hinojosa
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on appellant Father’s “Motion for Preparation of and
Access to Records and Extension of Time to Submit Brief.” In his motion, Father seeks
the Court’s permission to supplement the record. He further prays that he be granted an
extension of time to file his brief, with his brief due ten days after the record is
supplemented. This Court, having fully examined and considered Father’s motion
believes it should be granted with order. The Court, however, requires strict adherence
to the briefing rules in appeals of parental termination cases, such as this appeal, and
looks with disfavor upon the delay caused by such extension requests. See TEX. R. APP.
P. 38.6; see also id. R. 28.4.
Father’s motion is hereby GRANTED. The supplementation should be completed
and filed with this Court on or before March 29, 2018. Father is hereby ORDERED to
file his appellate brief with this Court on or before the tenth day after supplementation is
accomplished. Further motions for extension of time will not be favorably entertained by
this Court, absent extraordinary circumstances.
The Clerk of this Court is ORDERED to serve a copy of this order on appellant’s
counsel, the Honorable Cameron Brumfield, by email and certified mail, return receipt
requested.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed the 20th
day of March, 2018.
