J. M. and A. G., Appellants

 

v.

 

Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee

 

 

FROM THE 207th District Court OF Hays COUNTY

NO. 2011-1242, The Honorable William Henry, JUDGE PRESIDING

 

 

                                                                     O R D E R

 

PER CURIAM

Appellant A. G. filed her notice of appeal on July 16, 2012.  The appellate record was complete August 13, 2012, making appellant=s brief due September 4, 2012. To date, appellant=s brief has not been filed.

Recent amendments to 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), available at http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/MiscDocket/12/12903200.pdf (providing 180 days for court’s final disposition).  The accelerated schedule requires greater compliance with briefing deadlines.  Therefore, we order Mr. Luis I. Cuellar to file appellant=s brief no later than September 24, 2012.  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 September 7, 2012.

 

Before Justices Puryear, Pemberton and Henson
