IN THE INTEREST OF I.L. and A.E., MINOR CHILDREN
Appeal from the 65th District Court of El Paso County, Texas (TC# 2018DCM2305) ORDER
The Court has received a motion to withdraw as counsel from John L. Williams. The motion on its face does not comply with TEX.R.APP.P. 6.5. Consequently, we deny the motion to withdraw without prejudice to allow Williams to promptly refile a motion that complies with each predicate of TEX.R.APP.P. 6.5.
Williams attached a copy of a trial court order relieving him of his appointment. However, Williams filed a notice of appeal and entered an appearance on behalf of the client with this Court, as well. Withdrawal on appeal requires compliance with the appellate court's separate rules and procedures.
Further, the Court on its own motion orders the time for filing the Appellant's Brief to be extended. The new deadline for filing the Appellant's brief will be 45 days from this date.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 28th day of February, 2020.
PER CURIAM Before Alley, C.J., Rodriguez and Palafox, JJ.
