       These appeals involve termination and child-protection cases. On January 22,
2018, appellee, Department of Family & Protective Service (“DFPS”), filed an
unopposed motion for an extension of time to February 12, 2018 to file its appellee’s
brief. We grant the motion. DFPS’s brief is due to be filed in these appeals no later
than Monday, February 12, 2018. No further extensions will be granted. See TEX.
R. APP. P. 28.4(a), 38.6(b), (c).

T.L.C. is due to be filed no later than Monday, February 12, 2018. No further
extensions will be granted.
       Because these appeals involve termination and child-protection cases, this Court is
required to bring the appeals to final disposition within 180 days of June 30, 2017, the
date the notices of appeal were filed, so far as reasonably possible. See Tex. R. Jud.
Admin. 6.2, reprinted in TEX. GOV’T. CODE ANN., tit. 2, subtit. F app. (Vernon Supp.
