Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-22-00279-CV
B. S. and M. S., Appellants
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 146TH DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY NO. 315625, THE HONORABLE JACK WELDON JONES, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellants B. S. and M. S. filed their notices of appeal on May 16, 2022, and
May 17, 2022, respectively. The appellate record was complete on May 27, 2022, making
appellants’ briefs due on June 16, 2022. On June 15, 2022, counsel for appellants filed a joint
motion for extension of time to file appellants’ briefs.
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 constrains this Court’s leeway in granting
extensions. In this instance, we will grant the motion and order Jeremy M. Masten and Yolanda
Cortes Mares to file appellants’ briefs no later than July 6, 2022. If the briefs are not filed by that date, counsel may be required to show cause why they should not be held in contempt
of court.
It is ordered on June 22, 2022.
Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Kelly and Smith
