IN THE INTEREST OF M.R., A CHILD

On Appeal from the 314th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2016-04856J

ORDER This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a suit in which the termination of the parent-child relationship is at issue. Appellant’s, C.R.’s, brief was due June 12, 2018, but it has not been filed.

Appeals in parental termination 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). This accelerated schedule requires greater compliance with briefing deadlines.

Therefore we order appellant’s, C.R.’s, appointed counsel, William Thursland, to file appellant’s brief no later than July 6, 2018. 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. In addition, the court may require appointment of new counsel due to the failure to timely file appellant’s brief.
