Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-22-00239-CV
S. W. and M. S., Appellants
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 146TH DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY NO. 319,539-B, THE HONORABLE CHRISTOPHER L. CORNISH, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellants S. W. and M. S. filed their notices of appeal on April 26, 2022. The
appellate record was complete on May 6, 2022, making appellants’ briefs due on May 26, 2022.
On May 26, 2022, counsel for appellants filed motions for extension of time to file
appellants’ briefs.
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 motions and order Yolanda Cortes Mares and
Natalie Fowler to file appellants’ briefs no later than June 16, 2022. If the briefs are not filed by that date, counsel may be required to show cause why they should not be held in contempt
of court.
It is ordered on June 2, 2022.
Before Chief Justice Byrne, Justices Kelly and Smith
