TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-12-00676-CV |
B. O. and T. S., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
|
FROM THE 201st District Court OF Travis COUNTY, NO. D-1-FM-11-000425, The Honorable Tim Sulak, JUDGE PRESIDING |
|
O R D E R PER CURIAM Appellant B.O. filed her notice of appeal on May 25, 2012. The appellate record was complete November 5, 2012, making appellant=s brief due November 26, 2012. To date, appellant=s brief has not been filed. 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). The accelerated schedule requires greater compliance with briefing deadlines. Therefore we order Mr. Chris McHam to file appellant=s brief no later than December 13, 2012. 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 November 28, 2012. Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Rose and Goodwin |
