IN THE INTEREST OF A.G., a Child
From the 73rd Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020-PA-01479 Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding
Sitting: Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Beth Watkins, Justice Lori I. Valenzuela, Justice
ORDER
PER CURIAM
Appellant appeals the trial court's termination of her parental rights. Appellant's court-appointed attorney has filed a brief and motion to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. Counsel certifies he served copies of the brief and motion on appellant, informed appellant of her right to review the record and file her own brief, and provided appellant with a form for requesting the record and explained to appellant the procedure for obtaining the record. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); In re P.M., 520 S.W.3d 24, 27 n.10 (Tex. 2016) (per curiam) (applying Anders procedures in appeal from order terminating parental rights). As of the date of this order, appellant has not filed the record-request motion provided to her by her counsel.
If appellant desires to file a pro se brief, we order she do so by June 21, 2022. At this time, 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 files a timely pro se brief, the State may file a responsive brief no later than twenty days after appellant's pro se brief is filed in this court.
It is so ORDERED on June 1, 2022.
