IN THE INTEREST OF M.D., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 196th Judicial District Court Hunt County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 86664
ORDER
Appellant's brief in this termination of parental rights case is overdue. Because these types of cases must be handled expeditiously, appellant is ORDERED to file, within TEN DAYS of the date of this order, both appellant's brief and an extension motion. Failure to file the brief and an extension motion by the time specified may result in an order for the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine why appellant's brief has not been filed and to take such measures as may be necessary to assure effective representation, including appointment of new counsel.
