  •                                 COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
    FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON
    ORDER
    Appellate case name:        Deniven Dupree Bell v. The State of Texas
    Appellate case number:      01-17-00526-CR
    Trial court case number:    A-16-0822-SB
    Trial court:                51st District Court of Tom Green County
    Appellant’s court-appointed counsel has filed a brief concluding that the above-
    referenced appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
    , 744, 
    87 S. Ct. 1396
    , 1400 (1967). Although he requests to be allowed to withdraw in his brief, counsel
    has not filed a motion to withdraw from representation. An Anders brief must
    accompany a motion to withdraw; neither the brief nor the motion may be filed on its
    own. See id.; In re Schulman, 
    252 S.W.3d 403
    , 406–08 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008).
    Accordingly, we direct appellant’s appointed counsel, Joseph P. Johnson, to file
    with the Clerk of this Court within 14 days of the date of this order a motion to withdraw
    that complies with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 6.5 and 9. See TEX. R. APP. P.
    6.5, 9; 
    Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 410
    , 412.
    It is so ORDERED.
