IN THE INTEREST OF: Z.C.S., A CHILD


On Appeal from the 15th Judicial District Court Grayson County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. FA-12-2032

ORDER

On the Court's own motion, we WITHDRAW our opinion and VACATE the judgment of October 9, 2014.

After submission of the appeal and issuance of the original opinion, appellate counsel for appellant Mother filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and an Anders brief stating there are no arguable issues to raise. Counsel did not file an extension motion explaining why the brief was tendered four months after it was due and nearly two months after the appeal was submitted. Nevertheless, in the interest of justice, we ORDER the brief of appellant Mother received on November 25, 2014, filed as of the date of this order.

In the motion to withdraw, counsel states that he informed appellant Mother of her right to request the record and file a pro se response, but he does not state that he provided her with a copy of the record. Appellant Mother has the right, if she so desires, to review the appellate record and file a pro se response. If appellant Mother desires to review the appellate record and file a pro se response, she must notify the Court in writing by JANUARY 7, 2015, and make such a request. Otherwise, the appeal will be submitted upon the Anders brief filed by counsel.

We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send, by first-class mail, copies of this order and the Anders brief to Jennifer Lynn Sykes, 9650 Farmington Road, Van Alstyne, Texas 75495.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order and the Anders brief, by electronic transmission, to counsel for all parties.
