TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-12-00113-CV Luis Zarruk, Appellant v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee FROM THE 395TH DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 10-2616-F395, THE HONORABLE MICHAEL JERGINS, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER PER CURIAM Appellant Luis Zarruk filed his notice of appeal on February 15, 2012. The appellate record was complete April 25, 2012, making appellant s brief due May 15, 2012. On May 11, 2012, counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file her brief. 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 constrains this Court s leeway in granting extensions. In this instance, we will grant the motion and order counsel to file appellant s brief no later than May 30, 2012. 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 May 16, 2012. Before Justices Puryear, Henson and Goodwin
