IN RE THE COMMITMENT OF M.A.C.

From the 175th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2017CI23282 Honorable Catherine Torres-Stahl, Judge Presiding

ORDER

On July 17, 2019, we abated this Anders appeal to the trial court for appointment of new counsel to prepare and file an appellant’s brief on the merits. A supplemental clerk’s record containing the trial court’s order appointing Ms. Judith Wemmert as new appellate counsel was filed. On August 23, 2019, we reinstated the case and ordered appellant’s brief due on or before September 23, 2019. To date, appellant’s brief has not been filed. It is therefore ORDERED that appellant’s appointed appellate counsel, Ms. Judith Wemmert, file appellant’s brief in this appeal no later than November 1, 2019. If the brief is not filed by such date, this appeal will be abated to the trial court for a hearing to determine if new appellate counsel should be appointed and to consider whether sanctions should be imposed against Ms. Wemmert for failing to timely file appellant’s brief.
