trial court ensure that appellant has the opportunity to fully examine the appellate record on or before fifteen (15) days from the date this order issues. It is FURTHER ORDERED

the trial court notify this Court as to the date upon which the appellate record was made

available to appellant. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).

Furthermore, Appellant shall have thirty (30) days from the day the appellate

record is first made available to him to file his pro se brief with this Court. The State shall

have twenty days thereafter to file its response, if any.
