FROM THE 98TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-FM-18-002157 , THE HONORABLE SCOTT H. JENKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant C. L. filed his notice of appeal on October 2, 2019. The appellate record was complete October 24, 2019, making appellant's brief due November 13, 2019. 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 counsel to file appellant's brief no later than December 2, 2019. 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 15, 2019. Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Triana and Smith
