IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-16-00132-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF
E.W., C.W., AND S.W., CHILDREN
From the 87th District Court
Freestone County, Texas
Trial Court No. 15-092B
ORDER
The appellants’ brief is overdue in this appeal. In a July 29, 2016 letter, the Clerk
of the Court notified appellants that their brief was overdue. The appellants were
directed to prepare and file a brief within 14 days of the date of the letter and were
notified that, unless a brief or satisfactory response was 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 appellants’ behalf and to assure that appellants are receiving effective
assistance of counsel. See In re T.V., 8 S.W.3d 448, 449-50 (Tex. App.—Waco 1999, order).
To date, no brief has been filed. Because appellants’ brief was not filed within 14
days, we abate this appeal to the trial court to conduct the necessary hearing within 14
days of the date of this order.
The supplemental clerk’s and reporter’s records, if any, are ordered to be filed
within 28 days of the date of this order.
