TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-19-00793-CV
B. A. B., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 340TH DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY
NO. C180096CPS, THE HONORABLE GARY L. BANKS, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant B. A. B. filed his notice of appeal on November 1, 2019. The appellate
record was complete November 7, 2019, making appellant’s brief due November 27, 2019. To
date, appellant’s brief has not been filed.
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 counsel to file appellant’s brief no later than December 17, 2019.
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 December 4, 2019.
Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Triana and Smith
