C. W., Appellant v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE 353RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-FM-17-003846 , THE HONORABLE KARIN CRUMP, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant C. W. filed her notice of appeal on February 10, 2020. The appellate record was complete March 10, 2020, making appellant's brief due March 30, 2020. 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 Cheryl Hindera to file appellant's brief no later than April 20, 2020. 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 April 3, 2020. Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Baker and Triana
