Honorable Richard Garcia, Judge Presiding
ORDER
This is an accelerated appeal. Appellant's brief was due in this court on June 13, 2016. Neither a brief nor a motion to extend time to file the brief has been filed.
Accordingly, we ORDER appellant to file appellant's brief in this court on or before July 6, 2016. If appellant files neither the brief nor a motion for extension of time by the date ordered, we will abate this appeal to the trial court for an abandonment hearing. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 107.013(a)(1) (giving indigent persons right to counsel in termination cases); In re M.S., 115 S.W.3d 534, 544 (Tex. 2003) (holding that right to counsel in termination cases includes right to effective counsel).
