O R D E R

PER CURIAM

During a review of the record following counsel’s filing of a suggestion of appellant Isela Moreno’s death, the Court noted that appellant Latief Bowser has not filed his brief.  Bowser filed his notice of appeal on September 29, 2011, and the appellate record was complete on March 5, 2012, making Bowser’s brief due March 26, 2012.

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 counsel to file appellant’s brief no later than June 4, 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 18, 2012.
