James Allen Brickley, Jr. v. Marie Laurence Gloria Joseph-Stephen

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-22-00574-CV

James Allen Brickley, Jr., Appellant v.

Marie Laurence Gloria Joseph-Stephen, Appellee

FROM THE 426TH DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY NO. 22DFAM331978, THE HONORABLE STEVEN J. DUSKIE, JUDGE PRESIDING

ORDER

PER CURIAM Appellant James Allen Brickley, Jr. filed his notice of appeal on September 15, 2022. The appellate record was complete on December 15, 2022, making appellant’s brief due on January 4, 2023. 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 James Allen Brickely to file appellant’s brief no later than January 19, 2023. If the brief is not filed by that date, the appeal may be dismissed for want of prosecution.

It is ordered on January 9, 2023.

Before Justices Triana, Kelly, and Theofanis
