Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-12-00634-CV

D. L. P., Jr., Appellant

v.

Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee

FROM THE 340th District Court OF Tom Green COUNTY

NO. C-11-0072-CPS, The Honorable Jay K. Weatherby, JUDGE PRESIDING

O R D E R

PER CURIAM

Appellant D.L.P., Jr. filed his notice of appeal on September 24, 2012. The appellate record was complete October 11, 2012, making appellant’s brief due October 31, 2012. On November 1, 2012, counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant’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 appellant’s brief no later than November 12, 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 2, 2012.

Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Rose and Goodwin
