v.

FROM THE 340TH DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY NO. C-12-0051-CPS, HONORABLE JAY K. WEATHERBY, JUDGE PRESIDING

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

PER CURIAM This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to the appeal of K.L.M. The subject of this proceeding is Nathan H. Butler, appellant’s attorney.

Appellant filed her notice of appeal on October 22, 2013, and her brief was due December 2, 2013. On December 13, 2013, we ordered counsel to file appellant’s brief no later than December 23, 2013. To date, appellant’s brief has not been filed.

Therefore, it is hereby ordered that Nathan H. Butler shall appear in person before this Court on Wednesday, January 15, 2014, at 9:00 a.m., in the Third Court of Appeals courtroom, located on the first floor of the Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, in Austin, Travis County, Texas, to show cause why he should not be held in contempt and have sanctions imposed for his failure to obey our December 13, 2013 order. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and Butler will be relieved of his obligation to appear before this Court as ordered above if the clerk of this Court receives appellant’s brief before January 15, 2014.

It is ordered on January 3, 2014.
