TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-20-00114-CV
S. W., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 428TH DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY
NO. 18-1542, THE HONORABLE WILLIAM R. HENRY, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant S. W. filed his notice of appeal on February 11, 2020. The appellate
record was complete March 10, 2020, making appellant’s brief due March 30, 2020. 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 Robert Caine to file appellant’s brief no later than April 13,
2020. 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 April 2, 2020.
Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Baker and Triana
