In the Interest of K.J.R. a/k/a K.R. and K.J.R., children
On Appeal from the 313th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2019-02125J
ORDER
This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a parental termination appeal. Appellant’s brief was due September 8, 2020. No brief has been filed.
Appeals in parental termination cases and child protection cases are to be brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a) (effective May 1, 2012). This accelerated schedule requires greater compliance with briefing deadlines.
Therefore, we order appellant’s appointed counsel, Angela Elisabeth Ellis, to file appellant’s brief no later than September 18, 2020. 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. In addition, the court may require appointment of new counsel due to the failure to timely file appellant’s brief.
PER CURIAM
Panel Consists of Justices Christopher, Jewell, and Zimmerer.
