J. J. B., Appellant v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee


FROM THE 395TH DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY
NO. 16-0130-CPS395 , THE HONORABLE RYAN D. LARSON, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER

PER CURIAM

Appellant J. J. B. filed his notice of appeal on December 21, 2017. The appellate record was complete January 10, 2018, making appellant's brief due January 30, 2018. On January 31, 2018, counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant's brief.

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 motion and order counsel to file appellant's brief no later than February 9, 2018. 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 February 1, 2018. Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Goodwin and Field
