FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY
NO. 18-0015-CPSC1 , THE HONORABLE BRANDY HALLFORD, JUDGE PRESIDING ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant M.V. filed his notice of appeal on January 29, 2019. The appellate record was complete February 11, 2019, making appellant's brief due March 4, 2019. On March 4, 2019, counsel for appellant filed a motion for extension of time and an amended 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 amended motion and order counsel to file appellant's brief no later than March 19, 2019. 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 March 6, 2019. Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Kelly and Smith
