Court of Appeals
Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
Nos. 07-17-00422-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF X.S., A CHILD
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1
Randall County, Texas
Trial Court No. 71,072-L1, Honorable Jack M. Graham, Presiding
March 8, 2018
ORDER OF SEVERANCE
Before QUINN, C.J., and PIRTLE and PARKER, JJ.
The parents of X.S. each timely filed notices of appeal from the trial court’s order
terminating their parental rights. X.S.’s mother, A.S., has filed a brief on the merits. X.S.’s
father, J.S., was appointed an attorney who has filed a brief in accordance with Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967).
Because the nature of our review of Anders cases is substantially different than
the nature of our review of a brief on the merits, we believe that it is appropriate to sever
the appeals. Thus, by order of this Court, J.S.’s appeal is severed into cause number 07-
18-00069-CV. To effectuate this severance, J.S.’s brief and all related filings as well as
a copy of the appellate record shall be refiled in cause number 07-18-00069-CV.
