Fourth Court of Appeals
                                   San Antonio, Texas
                                       September 22, 2021

                                      No. 04-21-00276-CV

                         IN THE INTEREST OF M.C.L., A CHILD

                  From the 285th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                               Trial Court No. 2020-PA-00477
                      The Honorable Kimberly Burley, Judge Presiding

                                         ORDER

        This is an accelerated appeal of an order terminating the appellants’ parental rights,
which must be disposed of by this court within 180 days of the date the first notice of appeal is
filed. Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2. Appellant R.E. filed a notice of appeal on July 7, 2021 and
appellant M.L. filed a notice of appeal on July 9, 2021. Thus, the 180-day deadline in which this
court must dispose of this appeal is January 3, 2022, and briefs from both appellants are due
September 22, 2021.

       On September 20, 2021, M.L. filed a motion                 requesting   a twenty-one   day
extension until October 13, 2021 to file his appellant’s brief.

       M.L.’s motion is GRANTED, and his appellant’s brief is due no later than October 13,
2021. Given the time constraints governing the disposition of this appeal, further requests for
extensions of time will be disfavored.

                                                    _________________________________
