in the Interest of O.O. Jr., a Child ( 2022 )

NUMBER 13-21-00411-CV
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
IN THE INTEREST OF O.O. JR., A CHILD
On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 5
of Nueces County, Texas.
ORDER
Before Justices Hinojosa, Tijerina, and Silva
Order Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on appellants C.L. and O.O.’s separate motions for
extension to file appellant’s brief. C.L. requests a twenty-day extension from the current
due date of February 15, 2022. O.O. requests a thirty-day extension.
The Court, having fully examined both motions is of the opinion that the motions
should be granted. 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. at R.
28.4.
It is therefore ordered that the Honorable Sandra Eastwood, counsel for C.L., file
the appellate brief with this Court by March 7, 2022, and that the Honorable Diamond De
Leon, counsel for O.O., file the appellate brief with this Court by March 15, 2022. No
further motions for extension will be granted.
PER CURIAM
Delivered and filed on the
22nd day of February, 2022.
