                                           ORDER
       This is an accelerated appeal in a parental termination case and should be finally disposed

within 180 days of the filing of the notice of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 28.4; TEX. R. JUD.

ADMIN. 6.2(a). The notice of appeal was filed August 31, 2015. Based on the filing date of the

clerk’s record, appellant Mother’s brief was due September 30, 2015. By order entered October

2, 2015, we extended the deadline to October 30, 2015. Although we cautioned appellant’s

counsel when we granted the thirty-day extension that no further extensions would be granted

absent exigent circumstances, counsel has filed another motion seeking an additional thirty days

to file the brief stating simply that she “has not had adequate time to prepare a quality brief.”

We GRANT the motion to the extent we ORDER the brief be filed no later than November

12, 2015. No further extensions will be granted.
