No. 04-18-00271-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF G.R.B., A.R.B., I.E.B.S., J.B.G., AND E.A.G., MINOR CHILDREN,

From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2017PA01024 Honorable Richard Garcia, Judge Presiding

ORDER

This is an accelerated appeal from a judgment terminating parental rights. Appellant’s brief, due June 21, 2018, has not been filed. On June 25, 2018, we notified appellant’s counsel of the deficiency. Appellant’s counsel has not filed a motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief or other appropriate response. Therefore, we abate this case to the trial court and ORDER the trial court to conduct a hearing to answer the following questions:

(1) Does appellant desire to prosecute her appeal?

(2) Has appointed counsel abandoned the appeal?

(3) Is it necessary to appoint new counsel to represent appellant in this appeal?

The trial court may, in its discretion, receive evidence on the first two questions by sworn affidavit from appellant. The trial court shall, however, order appellant’s counsel to be present at the hearing.

We ORDER the trial court to file its written findings of fact and conclusions of law with the trial court clerk no later than ten (10) days from the date of this order. We ORDER the trial court clerk to file a supplemental clerk’s record in this court no later than four (4) days after the trial court files its findings of facts and conclusions of law. We further ORDER the court reporter to file in this court a supplemental reporter’s record of the hearing, along with copies of any documentary evidence admitted, no later than four (4) days after the date of the hearing.

All appellate deadlines are ABATED pending further orders from this court.

Karen Angelini, Justice
