Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas July 14, 2017
No. 04-17-00313-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF L.C.S., A CHILD,
From the 407th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2016-PA-00974 Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding
ORDER Appellant’s brief was due on July 12, 2017. No brief or motion for extension has been filed. We order Manuel Charles Rodriguez, Jr., appellant’s court-appointed appellate attorney, to file appellant’s brief by July 21, 2017. Appellant is advised that no extensions of time will be granted absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances. The court does not generally consider a heavy work schedule to be an extraordinary circumstance. If the brief is not filed by the date ordered, the court may abate the appeal and remand the case to the trial court for a hearing to determine whether appellant or counsel has abandoned this appeal. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 107.013(a)(1) (giving indigent persons a right to counsel in parental-rights termination cases); In re M.S., 115 S.W.3d 534, 544 (Tex. 2003) (holding that this right to counsel includes the right to effective counsel).
