MICHAEL LEE HOCUTT, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 239th District Court Brazoria County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 74947

ORDER

Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Appellant has filed a motion to review the record so he may prepare a pro se brief. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). The motion is GRANTED.

Accordingly, we hereby direct the Judge of the 239th District Court to afford appellant an opportunity to view the trial record in accordance with local procedure; that the clerk of that court furnish the record to appellant on or before April 27, 2016; that the clerk of that court certify to this court the date on which delivery of the record to appellant is made; and that appellant file his pro se brief with this court within thirty days of that date.
