                                        ORDER
       This is an accelerated appeal. Appellant’s brief was originally due on April 27, 2015. No
such brief has been filed.

        We, therefore, ORDER appellant’s attorney to file appellant’s brief on or before May 19,
2015. NO EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED. If appellant’s brief is not filed by that date,
we will abate this appeal to the trial court for an abandonment hearing. See TEX. FAM. CODE

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).
