                           IN THE INTEREST OF D.R.P., A Child,

                   From the 150th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2012-PA-03045
                     Honorable Barbara Hanson Nellermoe, Judge Presiding


                                          ORDER
         On April 2, 2014, this court ordered appellant to provide a reasonable explanation for
failing to timely file the notice of appeal. Appellant filed a response, which we deem adequate to
show cause why the appeal should not be dismissed.

        Appellant is reminded that because this is an accelerated appeal in a parental termination
case, the Texas Rules of Judicial Administration require this court to “ensure that the appeal is
brought to final disposition . . . [w]ithin 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed.” TEX.
R. JUD. ADM. 6.2(a). Appellant’s brief is due no later than April 28, 2014.
