IN THE INTEREST OF H.M.T., A CHILD


On Appeal from the 311th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2017-34839-A

ORDER

This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a parental termination appeal. Appellant's brief was due July 25, 2019. No brief has been filed.

Appeals in parental termination cases and child protection cases are to be brought to final disposition within 180 days of the date the notice of appeal is filed. See Tex. R. Jud. Admin. 6.2(a) (effective May 1, 2012). This accelerated schedule requires greater compliance with briefing deadlines.

Therefore we order appellant's appointed counsel, Amy Ngo Lacy, to file appellant's brief no later than August 5 , 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. In addition, the court may require appointment of new counsel due to the failure to timely file appellant's brief.
