TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-14-00793-CV
L. C., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 21ST DISTRICT COURT OF LEE COUNTY
NO. 15,254, HONORABLE CARSON TALMADGE CAMPBELL, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant L.C. filed her notice of appeal on December 16, 2014. The appellate
record was complete December 23, 2014, making appellant’s brief due January 12, 2015. On
January 14, 2015, counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant’s
brief.
Amendments to the rules of judicial administration accelerate the final disposition
of appeals from suits for termination of parental rights. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a)
(providing 180 days for court’s final disposition). The accelerated schedule constrains this
Court’s leeway in granting extensions. In this instance, we will grant the motion and order
counsel to file appellant’s brief no later than January 30, 2015. If the brief is not filed by that
date, counsel may be required to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court.
It is ordered on January 15, 2015.
Before Justices Puryear, Pemberton, and Field
