IN THE INTEREST OF J.A., A.A., L.A., D.L.C., JR., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 314th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2016-06384J
ORDER
This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a parental termination
appeal. Appellant’s brief was due August 7, 2018. No brief has been filed.
Appeals in parental termination cases and child protection cases are to be
brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed.
See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a) (effective May 1, 2012). This accelerated schedule
requires greater compliance with briefing deadlines.
Therefore, we order appellant’s counsel Evelyn L. Gordon, to file
appellant’s brief no later than August 20, 2018. 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. In addition, the court may require appointment of new counsel due to the
failure to timely file appellant’s brief.
