In The
Court of Appeals
Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
Nos. 07-18-00206-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF P.L.G. AND H.M.G., CHILDREN
On Appeal from the 100th District Court
Childress County, Texas
Trial Court No. 10,713, Honorable Stuart Messer, Presiding
August 1, 2018
ORDER OF SEVERANCE
Before CAMPBELL and PIRTLE and PARKER, JJ.
The parents of P.L.G. and H.M.G. each timely filed notices of appeal from the trial
court’s order terminating their parental rights. The children’s mother, T.G., has filed a
brief on the merits. The children’s father, D.Z.G., 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, D.Z.G.’s appeal is severed into cause number
07-18-00297-CV. To effectuate this severance, D.Z.G.’s brief and all related filings as
well as a copy of the appellate record will be refiled in cause number 07-18-00297-CV by
the Clerk of this Court.
