TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD
DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
 
 




NO.  03-12-00689-CV




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




FROM THE 207th
  District Court OF Caldwell
  COUNTY, 
NO. 2011-FL-299,
  The Honorable Todd A. Blomerth, JUDGE
  PRESIDING




 
 



                                                                     O
  R D E R
 
PER CURIAM
Appellant M. M. filed her notice of appeal on October 11, 2012.  The appellate record was complete October 29, 2012, making appellant’s
  brief due November 19, 2012. To
  date, appellant’s brief has not been filed. 
Recent 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), available at http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/MiscDocket/12/12903200.pdf
  (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 December 13, 2012.  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 November 28,
  2012.
 
Before
  Justices Puryear, Pemberton and Henson
