IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-13-00452-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF M.G., M.G., AND K.G., CHILDREN,
Appellant
From the 272nd District Court
Brazos County, Texas
Trial Court No. 001802-CV-272
ABATEMENT ORDER
The appellant’s brief is overdue in this appeal. The Clerk of the Court’s February
28, 2014 letter to appellant’s counsel states:
Our records indicate that the appellant’s brief was due to be filed in
this Court on or before February 18, 2014. To date, no brief has been filed.
The Court directs that you prepare and file a brief in this Court within 14
days after the date of this letter.
Unless a brief or satisfactory response is received within 14 days,
the Court will abate this cause to the trial court for a hearing to determine
why a brief has not been filed on appellant’s behalf and to assure that
appellant is receiving effective assistance of counsel. See In re T.V., 8
S.W.3d 448, 449-50 (Tex. App.—Waco 1999, order).
Because appellant’s brief was not filed within 14 days, we abate this appeal to the
trial court to conduct a hearing within 14 days to determine why a brief has not been
filed on appellant’s behalf and to assure that appellant is receiving effective assistance
of counsel.
The supplemental clerk’s and reporter’s records, if any, are ordered to be filed
within 21 days of the date of this Order.
