No. 04-18-00865-CV

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 January 9, 2020, we abated this appeal to the trial court to hold a hearing to determine whether appellant desires to prosecute his appeal, whether appellant is indigent, and whether appellant’s court-appointed counsel had abandoned the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). We received a supplemental clerk’s record on February 13, 2020, containing the trial court’s findings that appellant desires to prosecute his appeal and is indigent, that appellant wants to have his court-appointed attorney Ms. Judith Wemmert continue to represent him on appeal, and that Ms. Wemmert has not abandoned the appeal. In its findings, the trial court recommends that we not sanction Ms. Wemmert.

It is therefore ORDERED that this appeal is REINSTATED on the docket of this court and that appellant’s brief is due on or before March 20, 2020. No extensions of time will be granted.
