IN THE INTEREST OF D.A.G., R.G., JR., J.X.G., AND S.A.G


From the 112th Judicial District Court, Sutton County, Texas
Trial Court No. 6066
Honorable Pedro Gomez, Judge Presiding

ORDER

This is an accelerated appeal from the trial court's final order terminating appellant Richard Gutierrez's parental rights. Appellant's court-appointed appellate counsel filed a brief and a motion to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he asserted there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. See In re P.M., No. 15-0171, — S.W.3d —, 2016 WL 1274748 at *3 (Tex. April 1, 2016). (Anders procedures apply to appeals from orders terminating parental rights). Counsel certified that he served a copy of the brief on appellant and informed him of his right to review the record and file his own brief. See 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.). In addition, counsel provided appellant a form for requesting a copy of the record from this court and advised appellant to sign the form and file it with this court by April 27, 2017. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). Appellant did not request the record and has not filed a pro se brief.

If appellant desires to file a pro se brief, we order that he must do so by June 26, 2017.

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