in the Interest of A.S., a Child

Opinion

Order entered December 1, 2016

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-16-01055-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF A.S., A CHILD

On Appeal from the 304th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 15-00707-W

ORDER Pursuant to our October 17, 2016 order, the trial court conducted a hearing to determine

whether appellant desired to prosecute this appeal and, if he did, whether he was entitled to

appointed counsel. The trial court found appellant desires to prosecute the appeal and appointed

Frank Adler as appellant’s counsel. Accordingly, we DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to

designate Frank Adler as counsel for appellant.

As the appellate record has been filed, we ORDER appellant to file his brief no later than

December 21, 2016. Because this is an appeal from an order terminating appellant’s parental

rights, we caution appellant no extensions may be granted absent exigent circumstances.
