TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-13-00845-CV
J. C. C., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 201ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. D-1-FM-12-000387, HONORABLE SCOTT H. JENKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant has filed a motion to substitute new counsel. Because current counsel
was appointed by the trial court, we abate this appeal and remand to the trial court to consider
and act on appellant’s motion. After the trial court makes its determination, it should immediately
inform this Court of its decision. Appellant’s brief will be due twenty days from the date the trial
court makes its decision on appellant’s motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a) (in accelerated appeal,
brief is due twenty days from date record is filed). We dismiss as moot appellant’s pending motion
for extension of time to file his brief.
