THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the 227th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013CR4953 Honorable Philip A. Kazen, Jr., 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 the 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, No. PD-07-02-13, 2014 WL 2865901, at *3 (Tex. Crim. App. June 25, 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 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 the appellant files a pro se brief, the State may file a responsive brief no later than thirty days after the date the appellant’s pro se brief is filed in this court. It is further ORDERED that the appellant’s counsel’s request to withdraw is HELD IN ABEYANCE pending further order of the court.
