O R D E R

PER CURIAM

Appellant Robert Threadgill filed his notice of appeal on December 13, 2011. Appellant=s brief was filed on April 30, 2012, making the state’s brief due May 21, 2012.  On May 17, 2012, counsel for the state 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 the state’s brief no later than June 20, 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 21, 2012

Before Justices Puryear, Henson and Goodwin
