ORDER On August 26, 2016, this court received appellant’s brief. Appellant’s brief violates Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.8 in that the documents contained in the appendix have not been redacted to protect the minor’s identity.

We, therefore, ORDER that appellant’s brief is STRICKEN. We further ORDER appellant’s attorney to file an amended appellant’s brief in compliance with TRAP 9.8 on or before September 19, 2016. NO EXTENSIONS WILL BE GRANTED given the procedural history of this appeal. If appellant’s amended brief is not filed by September 19, 2016, we will abate this appeal to the trial court to determine whether new appellate counsel should be appointed. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. ' 107.013(a)(1) (giving indigent persons a right to counsel in parental-rights termination cases); In re M.S., 115 S.W.3d 534, 544 (Tex. 2003) (holding that this right to counsel includes the right to effective counsel).
