TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-15-00274-CV
E. T. and T. T., Appellants
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 4 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY,
NO. 14-0044-CPS4, THE HONORABLE JOHN MCMASTER, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellants E. T. and T. T. filed their notice of appeal on May 4, 2015. The
appellate record was complete June 2, 2015, making appellants’ brief due June 22, 2015. To
date, appellants’ brief has not been filed.
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 requires greater
compliance with briefing deadlines. Therefore we order counsel to file appellants’ brief no later
than July 14, 2015. If the brief is not filed by that date, counsel may be required to show cause
why she should not be held in contempt of court.
It is ordered on June 29, 2015.
