IN RE: Jessica Edwards F. R. and J. R., Appellants v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to the appeal of F. R. and J.R. The subject of this proceeding is Jessica Edwards, appellants' attorney.
Appellants filed their notice of appeal on July 17, 2017, and their brief was originally due on August 17, 2017. On August 17, 2017, we granted appellants' first motion for extension of time and ordered counsel to file appellants' brief no later than August 29, 2017. To date, appellants' brief has not been filed.
Therefore, it is hereby ordered that Jessica Edwards shall appear in person before this Court on Wednesday, September 27, 2017, at 1:30 p.m., in the Third Court of Appeals courtroom, located on the first floor of the Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, in Austin, Travis County, Texas, to show cause why she should not be held in contempt and have sanctions imposed for her failure to obey our August 17, 2017 order. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and Edwards will be relieved of her obligation to appear before this Court as ordered above if the Clerk of this Court receives appellants' brief on or before September 25, 2017.
It is ordered on September 15, 2017.
