IN THE INTEREST OF L.S.A.C.J. AND L.D.D.C.J., CHILDREN


On appeal from the 25th District Court of Gonzales County, Texas.

ORDER

Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Hinojosa
Order Per Curiam

The trial court terminated the parental rights of appellant L.M.J. to her two children. Appellant's counsel has filed an Anders brief, which discusses why, under controlling authority, there is no reversible error in the trial court's judgment. Counsel has also informed this Court that appellant has been (1) notified that counsel has filed an Anders brief; (2) provided with a copy of the Anders brief; (3) informed of her right to file a pro se response and review the record preparatory to filing that response; and (4) provided with a pro se motion for access to the appellate record. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967); Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319-20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); see also In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 409 n.23 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008).

In appeals from cases involving the termination of parental rights, the rules of appellate procedure require the use of an alias to refer to a minor, and if necessary to protect the minor's identity, to the minor's parent or other family member. TEX. R. APP. P. 9.8.

See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967).

Accordingly, we provide the following deadlines should appellant wish to file a pro se response and review the record preparatory to filing a response. Appellant must file a pro se motion for access to the appellate record within ten days from the date of this order. Appellant shall have twenty days from the day the appellate record was first made available to her to file her pro se response with this Court. The Department of Family and Protective Services shall have twenty days thereafter to file its response, if any.

It is so ORDERED.

PER CURIAM Delivered and filed the 7th day of June, 2017.
