Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
May 1, 2017
No. 04-17-00102-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF A.D.S. AND J.P.S.,
From the 57th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2016PA00151
Honorable Richard Garcia, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant’s brief in this appeal from an order terminating parental rights was filed on
April 26, 2017. The appendix includes an unredacted copy of the trial court’s Order of
Termination that identifies the minor children by name and discloses their dates of birth. The
Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure prohibit the filing of appendix items that disclose a minor’s
name or date of birth, and the rules require that such information be redacted before filing. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 9.8(b)(1); 9.9(a)-(c).
We therefore strike appellant’s brief and order the brief and appendix, appropriately
redacted, be refiled by May 4, 2017.
