Fourth Court of Appeals
                                  San Antonio, Texas
                                         January 9, 2023

                                      No. 04-22-00680-CV

     IN THE INTEREST OF A.N.C., E.L.G., I.C.C.-G., AND O.N.C.-G., CHILDREN

                  From the 288th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                               Trial Court No. 2020-PA-01192
                          Honorable Martha Tanner, Judge Presiding

                                         ORDER
        This is an accelerated appeal of an order terminating appellant S.G.’s parental rights
which must be disposed of by this court within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed.
Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2. S.G. filed his original appellant’s brief on November 21, 2022. On
December 1, 2022, we abated this appeal to permit appellee the Texas Department of Family and
Protective Services to file a motion for judgment nunc pro tunc in the trial court. In our
December 1, 2022 order, we noted that if the trial court signed a judgment nunc pro tunc, we
would permit appellant to file a new brief within twenty days of the date the judgment was
signed. Our order cautioned the parties that due to the time constraints governing this appeal,
“requests for extension of any deadline stated in this order will be disfavored.”

        On December 16, 2022, the district clerk filed a supplemental clerk’s record containing a
Nunc Pro Tunc Order of Termination that the trial court signed on December 9, 2022.
Accordingly, we lifted our December 1, 2022 abatement and ordered S.G. to file his new brief, if
any, by December 29, 2022. On January 9, 2023, S.G. filed a motion requesting an extension of
time until January 12, 2023 to file his new brief. After consideration, we GRANT the motion
and ORDER S.G. to file his new brief by January 12, 2023. No further extensions of time to
file appellant’s new brief will be granted.

       It is so ORDERED on January 9, 2023.

       ATTESTED TO: ________________________
