In re Jessica Edwards
F. R. and J. R., Appellants
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY, 274TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 13-2094, HONORABLE WILLIAM R. HENRY, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
PER CURIAM
This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to the appeal of F. R. and J.R. The subject
of this proceeding is Jessica Edwards, appellants’ attorney.
Appellants filed their notice of appeal on July 17, 2017, and their brief was originally
due on August 17, 2017. On August 17, 2017, we granted appellants’ first motion for extension of
time and ordered counsel to file appellants’ brief no later than August 29, 2017. To date, appellants’
brief has not been filed.
Therefore, it is hereby ordered that Jessica Edwards shall appear in person before this
Court on Wednesday, September 27, 2017, at 1:30 p.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 17, 2017 order. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and
Edwards will be relieved of her obligation to appear before this Court as ordered above if the Clerk
of this Court receives appellants’ brief on or before September 25, 2017.
It is ordered on September 15, 2017.
Before Justices Puryear, Field, and Bourland
