TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO.  03-11-00726-CV

Naomi Nicole Tanguma, Appellant

v.

Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee

FROM THE 340th District Court OF Tom Green COUNTY

NO. C-09-0219-CPS, The Honorable Jay K. Weatherby, JUDGE PRESIDING

                                                                     O R D E R

PER CURIAM

Appellant Naomi Nicole Tanguma filed her notice of appeal on November 7, 2011.  The appellate record was complete April 9, 2012, making appellant’s brief due April 29, 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 21, 2012.  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 May 4, 2012.

Before Justices Chief Justice Jones, Justices Pemberton and Rose
