FROM THE 207TH DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY NO. 23-3194, THE HONORABLE JESSICA DEVANEY, JUDGE PRESIDING

ORDER AND MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

Appellant C.G. has filed an emergency motion to abate this appeal and remand

the cause to the district court to allow for the withdrawal of current counsel and the appointment

of substitute counsel. In the motion, current counsel represents that he “cannot proceed due to

very recent and major health developments” and describes those developments.

We grant the motion, abate the appeal, and remand the case to the district court

for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. A supplemental clerk’s record containing a

copy of the order appointing substitute counsel shall be forwarded to this Court no later than

August 4, 2025. Substitute counsel’s brief will be due twenty days after the date of appointment.
