                     On Appeal from the 315th District Court
                              Harris County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. 2014-05822J

                                        ORDER
      This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment in a parental termination appeal.
Appellant’s brief was due October 18, 2016. 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.

      Accordingly, we ORDER appellant’s appointed counsel, Stephen M. Pierce,
to file appellant’s brief no later than October 28, 2016. 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.

                                        PER CURIAM
