Honorable Joey Contreras, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California,
368 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal.
Counsel has informed appellant of his right to file his own brief and provided appellant with a
form motion for requesting the appellate record. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–20
(Tex. Crim. App. 2014); Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1997, no
pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.). The
State has filed a letter waiving its right to file an appellee’s brief unless the appellant files a pro
se brief.
If the appellant desires to request the appellate record, he must file the motion requesting
the record within ten days from the date of this order. If the appellant desires to file a pro se
brief, he must do so within thirty days from the date of this order. See Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177
n.1. If appellant files a pro se brief, the State may file a responsive brief no later than thirty days
after the date appellant’s pro se brief is filed in this court. It is further ORDERED that the motion
to withdraw, filed by appellant’s counsel, is HELD IN ABEYANCE pending further order of the
court.
