Do I have the right to a court-appointed lawyer for appeals to the Texas Supreme Court?

Question

Accepted Answer

This question has been addressed in 1 Texas court opinion(s), including In the Matter of F.M., A Juvenile. In cases involving appointed counsel under the Texas Family Code (including juvenile and termination matters), an Anders brief is not an immediate exit strategy. Counsel's duty of representation is "sticky" and persists through the petition for review stage in the Texas Supreme Court; you must remain appointed to assist the client with further review if they request it, even if you believe the appeal lacks merit.
