Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-22-00722-CV

S. L. and J. R., Appellants

v.

Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee

FROM THE 98TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY NO. D-1-FM-21-003638, THE HONORABLE CLEVE WESTON DOTY, JUDGE PRESIDING

ORDER

PER CURIAM

Appellant J. R. filed her notice of appeal on December 15, 2022. The appellant’s

brief was due on January 27, 2023. To date, appellant’s brief has not been filed.

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 requires greater compliance with briefing

deadlines. Therefore, we order Mark Zuniga to file appellant’s brief no later than March 1, 2023.

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 February 17, 2023.

Before Justices Baker, Kelly, and Smith
