Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-14-00815-CV
N. D., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NO. 13-0139-CPS1, HONORABLE SUZANNE BROOKS, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant N.D. filed her notice of appeal on December 22, 2014. The
appellate record was complete January 5, 2015, making appellant’s brief due January 26,
2015. On January 27, 2015, counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file
appellant’s brief.
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 constrains
this Court’s leeway in granting extensions. In this instance, we will grant the motion in part
and 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 she should not be held in
contempt of court.
It is ordered on January 29, 2015.
Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Goodwin and Field
