                                       ORDER

      The above appeals are proceedings involving the Texas Department of Family

and Protective Services that ordered the termination of the parent-child relationship

between William K. and his children, J.T. and M.K. Richard Ferguson has now been

appointed by the court to represent William K. in these appeals.

      These appeals are reinstated. As stated in this Court’s abatement order, counsel

for William K. is ordered to notify this Court no later than October 8, 2015 if he intends

to adopt the motions to withdraw and briefs in support of the motion pursuant to
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967) previously filed

by Nita Fanning or if he will be filing briefs on the merits. Any briefs on the merits by

counsel for William K. are due by October 15, 2015. Because these are accelerated

appeals, motions for extension will be highly disfavored. See TEX. R. JUD. ADMIN. 6.2(a).
