TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-22-00324-CV
G. R., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 22ND DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY
NO. C2021-0951A, THE HONORABLE MELISSA MCCLENAHAN, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant G. R. filed his notice of appeal on June 1, 2022. The appellate record
was complete on June 13, 2022, making appellant’s brief due on July 5, 2022. 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 Carah-Beth Bass to file appellant’s brief no later than August 23,
2022. 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 August 9, 2022.
Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Triana and Smith
