Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-13-00646-CV
C. L. J. and T. P., Appellants
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 146TH DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, NO. 258,562-B, THE HONORABLE JACK WELDON JONES, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellants C. L. J. and T. P. filed their notice of appeal on November 27, 2013. The
appellate record was complete October 7, 2013, making appellants= brief due October 28, 2013. On
October 25, 2013, counsel for appellants filed a motion for extension of time to file appellants’ 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 appellants’ brief no
later than November 12, 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 October 28, 2013.
Before Justices Puryear, Rose and Goodwin
