in Re A.C., A.C. III, and S.P.A.C.

Opinion

Fourth Court of Appeals

San Antonio, Texas

June 17, 2019

No. 04-19-00217-CV

IN RE A.C., A.C. III, AND S.P.A.C., Appellant

From the 408th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2018PA00580 Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding

ORDER

Counsel has filed an Anders brief in this case. The Anders brief was accepted without a motion to withdraw because, in appeals of orders terminating parental rights, courts generally cannot grant such a motion absent some ground other than counsel’s conclusion that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. See In re P.M., 520 S.W.3d 24 (Tex. 2016) (per curiam). After this court accepted counsel’s Anders brief, counsel filed a motion to withdraw, the sole ground being counsel’s conclusion that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We ORDER the motion to withdraw is held in abeyance pending further order of the court. We further ORDER the clerk of this court to serve a copy of this order on appellant and all counsel.
