Gabriel Antonio VALVERDE, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 437th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2016CR4166W Honorable Lori I. Valenzuela, 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 portions of the clerk’s record and the reporter’s 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 complete appellate record, he must request the record in writing 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 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 motion to withdraw, filed by appellant’s counsel, is HELD IN ABEYANCE pending further order of the court.
