Appellant’s court-appointed counsel, Adam Banks Brown, filed a motion to withdraw and appellate brief on December 13, 2018, concluding that the above-referenced appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967). On December 21, 2018, appellant, acting pro se, filed a motion for pro se access to a copy of the record to prepare a response and a motion requesting a 30-day extension of time to file his pro se Anders brief response. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 315, 318–20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). Accordingly, the Court grants appellant’s motion requesting the record and orders the district clerk, no later than 10 days from the date of this order, to provide a copy of the clerk’s and reporter’s records to the pro se appellant. The trial court clerk shall further certify to this Court, within 15 days of the date of this order, the date upon which delivery of the records to the appellant is made. Finally, the Court grants appellant’s motion for an extension of time to file a pro se Anders response. Appellant’s pro se response to his counsel’s Anders brief shall be filed within 45 days of the date of this order.
