Fourth Court of Appeals
                                  San Antonio, Texas
                                         June 17, 2019

                                     No. 04-19-00217-CV

                            IN RE A.C., A.C. III, AND S.P.A.C.,
                                         Appellant

                  From the 408th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2018PA00580
                     Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding

                                        ORDER
        Counsel has filed an Anders brief in this case. The Anders brief was accepted without a
motion to withdraw because, in appeals of orders terminating parental rights, courts generally
cannot grant such a motion absent some ground other than counsel’s conclusion that the appeal is
frivolous and without merit. See In re P.M., 520 S.W.3d 24 (Tex. 2016) (per curiam). After this
court accepted counsel’s Anders brief, counsel filed a motion to withdraw, the sole ground being
counsel’s conclusion that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We ORDER the motion to
withdraw is held in abeyance pending further order of the court. We further ORDER the clerk of
this court to serve a copy of this order on appellant and all counsel.

                                                   _________________________________
