TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO.  03-10-00445-CV

Mary Ayala, Appellant

v.

Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee

FROM THE 345th District Court OF Travis COUNTY

NO. D-1-FM-08-006383

 The Honorable Orlinda Naranjo, JUDGE PRESIDING

                                                                     O R D E R

PER CURIAM

Appellant Mary Ayala filed her notice of appeal on July 8, 2010.  The appellate record was complete July 27, 2011, and following an abatement to the trial court, counsel was ordered to file appellant’s brief by March 26, 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 May 25, 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 May 8, 2012.

Before Justices Puryear, Henson and Goodwin
