                   From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2014-PA-00998
                          Honorable Richard Garcia, Judge Presiding

                                          ORDER
       The Texas Rules of Judicial Administration require this court to “ensure that the appeal is
brought to final disposition . . . [w]ithin 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed.” TEX.
R. JUD. ADM. 6.2(a). This accelerated appeal from the termination of appellant’s parental rights
has been pending since the notice of appeal was filed in the trial court on July 28, 2015.
Appellant’s brief was originally due on August 27, 2015. On August 27, 2015, appointed
counsel of record, Mr. Joseph Bohac, filed a motion requesting a twenty-day extension of time.

        The motion is GRANTED and Mr. Bohac is hereby ORDERED to file appellant’s brief
no later than September 16, 2015. NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS OF TIME WILL BE
GRANTED. If Mr. Bohac does not file appellant’s brief by September 16, 2015, this appeal
will be abated to the trial court for appointment of new counsel.

        The Clerk of this court shall cause a copy of this order to be served on Mr. Bohac by
certified mail, return receipt requested, and by United States mail.

                                                      _________________________________

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 2nd day of September, 2015.
