Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-14-00753-CV
K. E. M., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 274TH DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY NO. C2010-0893C, HONORABLE CHARLES A. STEPHENS II, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant K.E.M. filed her notice of appeal on November 13, 2014. The
appellate record was complete December 11, 2014, making appellant’s brief due December 31,
2014. To date, appellant’s brief has not been filed.
Amendments to 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 counsel to file appellant’s brief no later
than February 13, 2015. 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 January 29, 2015.
Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Goodwin and Field
