IN THE INTEREST OF M.R.D.W., CHILD
On Appeal from the 314th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 2016-03574J
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 R.W.’s brief was due August 2, 2017. No brief or motion for extension 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 R.W.’s appointed counsel, William Thursland, to file R.W.’s brief no later than August 14, 2017. 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.
