COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: In the matter of K.T.S. Appellate case numbers: 01-18-00778-CV Trial court case numbers: 2017-02717J 2017-02248J Trial court: 313th District Court of Harris County This Court’s September 21, 2018 Order of Abatement had abated this juvenile certification appeal for the trial court to hold a show-cause hearing to determine whether appellant’s counsel, Gary M. Polland, should be relieved of his duties for failing to timely file a brief. That Order had also stated that if counsel filed an extension motion with a compliant appellant’s brief within seven days of the date of that Order, this Court may withdraw that Order and reinstate this appeal. On September 28, 2018, appellant’s counsel, Gary M. Polland, filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief, contending that he needed more time because the record to review in this case is extensive, along with a compliant appellant’s brief in this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.5(b)(1)(C), 38.1. Accordingly, the Court grants appellant’s extension request and directs the Clerk of this Court to WITHDRAW the Order of Abatement, to REINSTATE this case on the Court’s active docket, and to mark appellant’s brief as filed on September 28, 2018. Appellee’s brief, if any, is ORDERED to be filed within 20 days of the date of the date of this Order. See TEX. R. APP. P. 2, 38.6(b). No extensions will be granted absent extraordinary circumstances. It is so ORDERED. Judge’s signature: /s/ Laura C. Higley Acting individually Acting for the Court Date: October 2, 2018
