In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-16-00921-CV ____________ In the Interest of C.M.-L.G. AKA K.M.G, K.D.D. and K.D.D., Children

On Appeal from the 313th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2015-05863J

ORDER This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a parental termination appeal.

Appellant Marquita Dannyel Young’s brief was due December 19, 2016. No brief has been filed.

Appeals in parental termination cases and child protection cases are to be brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed.

See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a) (effective May 1, 2012). This accelerated schedule requires greater compliance with briefing deadlines.

Therefore, we order appellant’s appointed counsel William M. Thursland to file appellant’s brief no later than December 30, 2016. 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. In addition, the court may require appointment of new counsel due to the failure to timely file appellant’s brief.
