TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-15-00737-CV
J. L. D. and W. A., Appellants
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 53RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-FM-14-000526, THE HONORABLE ORLINDA NARANJO, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant W. A. filed her notice of appeal on December 4, 2015. The appellate
record was complete December 9, 2015, making appellant=s brief due December 29, 2015. To date,
W.A.’s brief has not been filed.
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) (providing 180
days for court’s final disposition). The accelerated schedule requires greater compliance with
briefing deadlines. Therefore we order Leigh Mathews Rodriguez to file appellant=s brief no later
than January 26, 2016. 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 January 11, 2016.
Before Justices Puryear, Goodwin and Field
