No. 04-14-00191-CV

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.
