S. N. G. v. the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services
Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-13-00683-CV
S. N. G., Appellant
v.
The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 53RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, NO. D-1-FM-12-005318, THE HONORABLE SCOTT H. JENKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant S. N. G. filed her notice of appeal on October 4, 2013. The appellate
record was complete October 28, 2013, making appellant=s brief due November 18, 2013. 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 10,
2013. 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 25, 2013.
Before Justices Puryear, Rose and Goodwin
