O R D E R PER CURIAM Appellant J.C. filed his notice of appeal on October 8, 2012. The appellate record was complete November 16, 2012, making appellant=s brief due December 6, 2012. On December 10, 2012, counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief. Recent 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), available at http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/MiscDocket/12/12903200.pdf (providing 180 days for court’s final disposition). We grant the motion and order counsel to file appellant=s brief no later than January 11, 2013. 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 December 12, 2012.
