TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-12-00701-CV
NO. 03-12-00765-CV
R. I., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 340TH DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY
NOS. C-11-0016-CPS & C-11-0016-CPS-1
THE HONORABLE JAY K. WEATHERBY, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
In each of the above causes, appellant R.I. filed her notice of appeal in the district
court on October 18, 2012. In each cause, appellant’s brief was due on December 27, 2012. 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) (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
in each cause no later than January 29, 2013. If the brief in each cause 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 January 14, 2013.
Before Justices Puryear, Pemberton and Rose
