TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-12-00689-CV M. M., Appellant v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee FROM THE 207TH DISTRICT COURT OF CALDWELL COUNTY, NO. 2011-FL-299, THE HONORABLE TODD A. BLOMERTH, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER PER CURIAM Appellant M. M. filed her notice of appeal on October 11, 2012. The appellant s brief was filed on January 3, 2013, making appellee=s brief due January 23, 2013. To date, appellee=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 appellee=s brief no later than February 11, 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 January 25, 2013. Before Justices Puryear, Pemberton and Rose
