In the Interest of M.H. and A.H


On Appeal from the 506th District Court Grimes County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 33831

ORDER

This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a parental termination appeal. Appellants' brief was due November 20, 2017. No brief has been filed.

Appeals in parental termination cases and child protection cases are to be brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a) (effective May 1, 2012). This accelerated schedule requires greater compliance with briefing deadlines.

Therefore we order appellants' appointed counsel Michael Casaretto, to file appellants' brief no later than December 1, 2017. 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. In addition, the court may require appointment of new counsel due to the failure to timely file appellants' brief.
