PER CURIAM

                        This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to the appeal of J.M.  The subject of this proceeding is Terry Wesley Baker, appellant’s attorney.

                        Appellant filed his notice of appeal on June 20, 2012, and his brief was due September 4, 2012.  On September 7, 2012, we ordered counsel to file appellant’s brief no later than October 8, 2012.  To date, appellant’s brief has not been filed.

                        Therefore, it is hereby ordered that Terry Wesley Baker shall appear in person before this Court on Thursday, November 8, 2012, 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 he should not be held in contempt and have sanctions imposed for his failure to obey our September 7, 2012, order.  This order to show cause will be withdrawn and Terry Wesley Baker will be relieved of his obligation to appear before this Court as ordered above if the clerk of this Court receives appellant’s brief before November 8, 2012.

It is ordered on October 18, 2012.

Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Puryear and Henson
