TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-14-00055-CV

C. W., Appellant v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee

FROM THE 353RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, NO. D-1-FM-11-004767, THE HONORABLE SCOTT H. JENKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING

ORDER

PER CURIAM Appellant C.W. filed his notice of appeal on February 4, 2014. The appellate record was complete February 24, 2014, making appellant=s brief due March 17, 2014. To date, appellant=s brief has not been filed.

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) (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 April 9, 2014. If the brief is not filed by that date, counsel may be required to show cause why she should not be held in contempt of court.

It is ordered on March 25, 2014.

Before Justices Puryear, Goodwin and Field
