TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO.  03-12-00124-CV

Detran Levy, Appellant

v.

Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee

FROM THE 53rd District Court OF Travis COUNTY,

NO. AG 07-001250, The Honorable Scott H. Jenkins, JUDGE PRESIDING

                                                                O R D E R

PER CURIAM

Appellant Detran Levy filed his notice of appeal on February 29, 2012.  The appellate record was complete April 3, 2012, making appellant=s brief due April 23, 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), 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 appellant=s brief no later than May 18, 2012.  If the brief 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 May 3, 2012.

Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Pemberton and Rose.
