TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-14-00590-CV
W. W., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 353RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-FM-13-001416, HONORABLE DARLENE BYRNE, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant W.W. filed her notice of appeal on September 15, 2014. The appellate
record was complete October 22, 2014, making appellant’s brief due November 11, 2014. To
date, appellant’s brief has not been filed.
Amendments to the rules of judicial administration accelerate the final disposition
of appeals from suits affecting the parent-child relationship filed by a governmental entity for
managing conservatorship. 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 appellant’s brief no later than December 1, 2014. 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 13, 2014.
Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Rose and Goodwin
