TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-12-00487-CV J. M. and A. G., Appellants v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee FROM THE 207TH DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY, NO. 2011-1242, THE HONORABLE WILLIAM HENRY, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER PER CURIAM Appellants J. M. and A. G. filed their notices of appeal on July 20, 2012 and July 16, 2012, respectively. The appellants briefing was complete November 6, 2012, making appellee s brief due November 26, 2012. On November 26 counsel for appellee filed a motion for extension of time to file appellee s 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 appellee s brief no later than December 17, 2012. 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 November 27, 2012. Before Justices Puryear, Pemberton and Henson
