FROM THE 428TH DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY
NO. 17-1409, THE HONORABLE MELISSA MCCLENAHAN, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
PER CURIAM
This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to the appeal of E.J. The subject of this
proceeding is Julie A. Ketterman, appellant’s attorney.
Appellant filed her notice of appeal on July 16, 2018, and her brief was due
August 16, 2018. On August 20, 2018, we ordered counsel to file appellant’s brief no later than
August 30, 2018. To date, appellant’s brief has not been filed.
Therefore, it is hereby ordered that Julie A. Ketterman shall appear in person
before this Court on Wednesday, September 26, 2018, 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 she should not be held in contempt
and have sanctions imposed for her failure to obey our August 20, 2018 order. This order to
show cause will be withdrawn and Ketterman will be relieved of her obligation to appear before
this Court as ordered above if the Clerk of this Court receives appellant’s brief on or before
September 24, 2018.
It is ordered on September 11, 2018.
