 TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES,
                           Appellee
  _________________________________________________________

              On Appeal from the 310th District Court
                        Harris County, Texas
                 Trial Court Cause No. 2014-18450
  _________________________________________________________

    APPELLANT'S FIRST UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION
                   OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

      T.B.F., appellant, moves the Court to extend the time to file her brief

to January 4, 2016 and in support thereof respectfully shows:

      1. This is an accelerated appeal. The deadline for the brief in this

case is December 2, 2015.

      2. Counsel finished the brief in this case but then realized that the

final decree dated October 6, 2015 was not included in the court record filed
with the Court, even though this Court specifically ordered in November that

the record be supplemented.

      3. Upon realizing the absence of the decree, Counsel immediately

took measures to ensure that the record is supplemented properly as

previously ordered by this Court.

      3. Due to the absence of a material court record, good cause exists to

grant this motion.

      4. This extension is not sought for the purposes of delay but rather so

that the ends of justice may be served.

      WHEREFORE, T.B.F., appellant, prays that this motion be granted

and that the time to file her brief be extended to January 2, 2016.

                                          Respectfully submitted,

                                          s/ Juliane Crow
