In re Christopher L. Cornish
C. L. J. and T. P., Appellants
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 146TH DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY,
NO. 258,562-B, JACK WELDON JONES, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
PER CURIAM
This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to the appeal of C. L. J. and T. P. The
subject of this proceeding is Christopher L. Cornish, appellants’ attorney.
Appellants filed their notice of appeal on September 27, 2013, and their brief was
due October 28, 2013. On October 28, 2013, we ordered counsel to file appellants’ brief no later
than November 12, 2013. To date, appellants’ brief has not been filed.
Therefore, it is hereby ordered that Christopher L. Cornish shall appear in person
before this Court on Friday, November 22, 2013, at 9:00 a.m., in the Third Court of Appeals
courtroom, located on the first floor of the Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, in
Austin, Travis County, Texas, to show cause why he should not be held in contempt and have
sanctions imposed for his failure to obey our October 28, 2013 order. This order to show cause
will be withdrawn and Cornish will be relieved of his obligation to appear before this Court as
ordered above if the Clerk of this Court receives appellants’ brief before November 22, 2013.
It is ordered on November 14, 2013.
Before Justices Puryear, Rose and Goodwin
