                                  San Antonio, Texas

                                      No. 04-22-00641-CV

                                 IN THE MATTER OF C.J.Z

                  From the 386th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                               Trial Court No. 2022JUV00491
                     Honorable Jacqueline Herr-Valdez, Judge Presiding

                                         ORDER
        Appellant’s brief was originally due on November 18, 2022 and was not filed. We
notified appellant’s counsel of the deficiency on November 30, 2022. See TEX. R. APP. P.
38.8(b)(2). In that notice, we instructed appellant to file a response by December 10, 2022
explaining why he has not timely filed a brief. To date, counsel has not responded to that notice.

        Accordingly, we order appellant to file his brief by January 13, 2023. If appellant’s
attorney fails to file the brief by the date ordered, we will abate this appeal and remand to the
trial court for a hearing to determine whether appellant or appointed counsel has abandoned the
appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2).

                                                    _________________________________

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
court on this 3rd day of January, 2023.
