TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-22-00574-CV

                             James Allen Brickley, Jr., Appellant

                                                   v.

                      Marie Laurence Gloria Joseph-Stephen, Appellee

              FROM THE 426TH DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY
     NO. 22DFAM331978, THE HONORABLE STEVEN J. DUSKIE, JUDGE PRESIDING

                                           ORDER

PER CURIAM

               Appellant James Allen Brickley, Jr. filed his notice of appeal on September 15,

2022. The appellate record was complete on December 15, 2022, making appellant’s brief due

on January 4, 2023. To date, appellant’s brief has not been filed.

               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) (providing 180 days

for court’s final disposition). The accelerated schedule requires greater compliance with briefing

deadlines. Therefore, we order James Allen Brickely to file appellant’s brief no later than

January 19, 2023. If the brief is not filed by that date, the appeal may be dismissed for want of

prosecution.

               It is ordered on January 9, 2023.

Before Justices Triana, Kelly, and Theofanis
