Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas August 20, 2020
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 April 17, 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 August 19, 2020, containing the trial court’s findings that appellant desires to prosecute his appeal, that appellant is indigent, and that appellant’s court-appointed attorney, Judith Wemmert, has constructively abandoned the appeal. The trial court did not impose sanctions, and it appointed new appellate counsel, David McLane, to represent appellant in this appeal.
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 September 21, 2020. No extensions of time will be granted absent extraordinary circumstances.
