IN THE INTEREST OF J.E.L. AND D.C.L., CHILDREN
From the 73rd Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2014-PA-02145
Honorable Richard Garcia, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On December 3, 2015, appellant's court-appointed attorney and guardian ad litem filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 368 U.S. 738 (1967), in which they assert there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. Counsel and guardian ad litem certified they informed appellant of her rights in this matter. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.). The State filed a letter waiving its right to file an appellee's brief unless the appellant files a pro se brief.
Appellant is advised that if appellant desires to file a pro se brief, he must do so within sixty days from the date of this order. See Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1. If the appellant files a pro se brief, the State may file a responsive brief no later than thirty days after the date the appellant's pro se brief is filed in this court. It is further ORDERED that the motion to withdraw, filed by appellant's counsel, is HELD IN ABEYANCE pending further order of the court.
