S. P., Appellant v. Texas Department of Family & Protective Services, Appellee (2013)

Court of Appeals of Texas, San Antonio.

S. P., Appellant v. Texas Department of Family & Protective Services, Appellee

NO. 03–13–00504–CV

Decided: September 20, 2013

Before Justices Puryear, Rose, and Goodwin

O R D E R

Appellant S.P. filed her notice of appeal on July 19, 2013. The appellate record was complete August 22, 2013, making appellant's brief due September 11, 2013. To date, appellant's brief has not been filed.

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 October 2, 2013. 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 September 17, 2013.
