                                            ORDER
       Before the Court is appellant’s July 22, 2013 unopposed motion to extend time to file

appellant’s brief.   Appellant’s brief was due in this accelerated appeal on July 21, 2013.

Appellant requests a thirty day extension of time to file its brief because it did not receive the

postcard notices sent to appellant regarding the filing of the record.       Because this is an

accelerated appeal, we GRANT appellant’s motion to the extent that appellant’s brief is due

TWENTY DAYS from the date of this order. See TEX. R. APP. P 38.6 (appellant’s brief is due

twenty days after complete record is filed in an accelerated appeal).
