IN THE INTEREST OF K.J.R. A/K/A K.R. AND K.J.R., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 313th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2019-02125J
ORDER
This court has not received sufficient assurance that appellant received a copy of the Anders brief filed in this appeal in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). We have issued two orders requiring counsel to provide this court with a copy of the certified mail return receipt that counsel received when she mailed appellant a copy of the brief in this matter. Rather than comply with those orders, counsel sent a transmittal letter with appellant's address redacted.
We order counsel to file a copy of the certified mail return receipt that counsel received when she mailed appellant a copy of the brief in this matter or some equivalent form a proof showing the Anders brief was delivered to appellant at the correct address by Monday, December 7, 2020 or the court will withdraw the opinion and order the trial court to hold a hearing with appellant, counsel for appellant and counsel for the Department in attendance to determine whether the Anders brief was delivered to appellant; and if the brief was not delivered, whether the trial court should appoint new counsel on appeal.
PER CURIAM Panel Consists of Justices Christopher, Jewell, and Zimmerer.
