IN THE INTEREST OF A.E., JR., Et al., Children


From the 45th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2013-PA-00722

Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding


ORDER

This is an appeal from a judgment terminating the parental rights of two appellants. On March 26, 2014, appellant Tommi Jo E.'s court-appointed appellate counsel filed a motion to withdraw and brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. See In re R. R., No. 04-03-00096-CV, 2003 WL 21157944 (Tex. App.-San Antonio, May 21, 2003, order) (holding that Anders procedures apply to appeals from orders terminating parental rights), disp. on merits, 2003 WL 22080522 (Tex. App.-San Antonio, Sept. 10, 2003, no pet.) (mem. op.). Counsel states he has informed appellant of her right to review the record and file her own brief. See id.; Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (Tex. App.—San Antonio, July 23, 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.).

If appellant desires to file a pro se brief, we order that she do so on or before May 5, 2014. The State has filed a notice waiving its right to file a brief in this case unless appellant files a pro se brief. If appellant timely files a pro se brief, the State may file a responsive brief no later than thirty days after appellant's pro se brief is filed in this court.

We order that the motion to withdraw filed by appellant's counsel is held in abeyance pending further order of the court.

We further order the clerk of this court to serve a copy of this order on appellant and all counsel.
