    IN THE INTEREST OF R.H.Z., ET. AL., CHILDREN,
    From the 37th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
    Trial Court No. 2016PA02484
    Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding
    ORDER
    Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California,
    
    368 U.S. 738
    (1967), in which he asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal.
    Counsel has informed the appellant of her right to file her own brief and provided appellant with
    a form motion for requesting the appellate record. See Kelly v. State, 
    436 S.W.3d 313
    , 319-20
    (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); Nichols v. State, 
    954 S.W.2d 83
    , 85 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no
    pet.); Bruns v. State, 
    924 S.W.2d 176
    , 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.); see also
    In re R.R., No. 04-03-00096-CV, 
    2003 WL 21157944
    , at * 4 (Tex. App.—San Antonio May 21,
    2003, no pet.) (applying Anders procedure in appeal from termination of parental rights). The
    State has filed a letter waiving its right to file an appellee’s brief unless the appellant files a pro
    se brief.
    If the appellant desires to file a pro se brief, she must do so within twenty days from the
    date of this order. See 
    Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177
    n.1. If the appellant files a pro se brief, the
    State may file a responsive brief no later than twenty days after the date the appellant’s pro se
    brief is filed in this court. We ORDER the motion to withdraw, filed by appellant’s counsel, to
    be HELD IN ABEYANCE pending further order of the court.
