Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-19-00228-CV
J. M. D., Appellant
v.
Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 345TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-FM-17-004585, THE HONORABLE TIM SULAK, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant J. M. D. filed his notice of appeal on April 1, 2019. The appellate
record was complete May 2, 2019, making appellant’s brief due May 22, 2019. To date,
appellant’s brief has not been filed.
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) (providing 180 days
for court’s final disposition). The accelerated schedule requires greater compliance with briefing
deadlines. Therefore, we order Colin Gaffney to file appellant’s brief no later than
June 12, 2019. 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 May 28, 2019.
Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Kelly and Smith
