JENNIFER ANNE THOMAS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 400th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 14-DCR-065587

ORDER

Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, Zachary Scott Maloney. On June 2, 2015, counsel filed a frivolous appeal brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Counsel failed to comply with the requirements set forth in Anders because he did not file a motion to withdraw as counsel for appellant. On September 15, 2015, this court issued a letter requesting that counsel file a motion to withdraw within 15 days. When counsel failed to comply, the court issued a follow-up letter on October 7, 2015 again requesting counsel’s motion to withdraw to be filed within 15 days. No motion to withdraw has been filed.

Accordingly, we order appellant’s appointed counsel, Zachary Scott Maloney, to file a motion to withdraw in this appeal on or before November 9, 2015. If counsel fails to file motion to withdraw counsel’s brief may be stricken and the court may require appointment of new counsel.
