                     On Appeal from the 314th District Court
                              Harris County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. 2018-00441J

                                        ORDER

      This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a parental termination
appeal. Appellant’s brief was due November 7, 2018. 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 William Thursland, to file
appellant’s brief no later than November 18, 2018. 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. In addition, the court may require appointment of new counsel
due to the failure to timely file appellant’s brief.
