FROM THE 200TH DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-FM-14-000279
THE HONORABLE STEPHEN YELENOSKY, JUDGE PRESIDING
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant L.D.N. filed his notice of appeal on July 20, 2015. The appellate record was complete August 4, 2015, making appellant's brief due August 24, 2015. To date, appellant's brief has not been filed.
Amendments to 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 counsel to file appellant's brief no later than September 18, 2015. 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 September 8, 2015. Before Chief Justice Rose, Justices Pemberton and Field
