Case Information

*1 Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas November 17, 2016 No. 04-16-00724-CV IN THE INTEREST OF R.S.-T., A CHILD , From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas Trial Court No. 14-2048-CV Honorable W.C. Kirkendall, Judge Presiding O R D E R

On October 13, 2016, the trial court signed an order terminating Appellant’s rights to her child R.S.T. On October 18, 2016, Appellant filed a notice of accelerated appeal. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 26.1(b). The reporter’s record was due on October 28, 2016. See id. R. 35.1(b).

On November 14, 2016, court reporter Robin J. Brame filed a notification of late reporter’s record. She indicated the reporter’s record would comprise almost 900 pages and she needs more time to prepare the record.

The reporter’s motion for extension of time to file the reporter’s record is GRANTED. The reporter’s record must be filed with this court by November 28, 2016. See id. R. 35.3(c) (limiting an extension in an accelerated appeal to ten days).

The child’s “need for permanence is the paramount consideration for the child’s present and future physical and emotional needs.” See Dupree v. Tex. Dep’t of Protective & Regulatory Servs. , 907 S.W.2d 81, 87 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1995, no writ). This court must render its decision “with the least possible delay,” and any further delays in obtaining the reporter’s record will hinder this court in its duty. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 35.3(c); In re J.L. , 163 S.W.3d 79, 82 (Tex. 2005) (quoting T EX . F AM . C ODE A NN . § 263.405(a) (West 2014)). Any further requests for extension of time to file the reporter’s record will be strongly disfavored.
