TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO.  03-12-00689-CV

M. M., Appellant

v.

Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee

FROM THE 207th District Court OF Caldwell COUNTY,

NO. 2011-FL-299, The Honorable Todd A. Blomerth, JUDGE PRESIDING

                                                                     O R D E R

PER CURIAM

Appellant M. M. filed her notice of appeal on October 11, 2012.  The appellate record was complete October 29, 2012, making appellant’s brief due November 19, 2012. To date, appellant’s brief has not been filed.

Recent 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), available at http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/MiscDocket/12/12903200.pdf (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 December 13, 2012.  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 November 28, 2012.

Before Justices Puryear, Pemberton and Henson
