NO. 03-12-00471-CV |
D. H. a/k/a D. T., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
|
FROM THE 345th District Court OF Travis COUNTY, NO. D-1-FM-11-000099, The Honorable Scott H. Jenkins, JUDGE PRESIDING |
|
O R D E R PER CURIAM Appellant D. H. a/k/a D. T. filed her notice of appeal on July 16, 2012. The appellate record was complete September 5, 2012, making appellant=s brief due September 25, 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 counsel to file appellant=s brief no later than October 15, 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 September 28, 2012. Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Rose and Goodwin
