Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-18-00115-CV NO. 03-18-00116-CV
L. D.-C., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 353RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NOS. D-1-FM-16-003517 & D-1-FM-17-001124 THE HONORABLE AMY CLARK MEACHUM, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant L. D.-C. filed her notices of appeal on February 23, 2018. The
appellate record was complete March 6, 2018, making appellant’ s briefs due March 26, 2018.
On April 2, 2018, this Court filed appellant’s motions for extension of time to file appellant’s
briefs.
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 constrains this Court’s leeway in granting
extensions. In this instance, we will grant the motion and order counsel to file appellant’s briefs
no later than April 26, 2018. If the briefs are not filed by that date, counsel may be required to
show cause why she should not be held in contempt of court. It is ordered April 4, 2018.
Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Goodwin and Field
