Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee

 

 

 

FROM THE County Court at Law No. 1 OF Williamson COUNTY,

NO. 01-595-FC1, The Honorable Suzanne Brooks, JUDGE PRESIDING

 

                                                                O R D E R

PER CURIAM

Appellant Jessica Wischer filed her notice of appeal on March 22, 2012.  The appellate record was complete May 1, 2012, making appellant=s brief due May 21, 2012.  On May 18, 2012, counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file his brief. 

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 constrains this Court’s leeway in granting extensions.  In this instance, we will grant the motion and order counsel to file appellant=s brief no later than June 11, 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 May 22, 2012.

 

Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Pemberton and Rose
