Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas January 19, 2023

No. 04-22-00413-CR

Paul YBARRA, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 226th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2020CR6362 Honorable Laura Lee Parker, Judge Presiding

ORDER Appellant’s court-appointed attorney filed a brief and motion to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which counsel asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. We therefore ordered appellant to file a pro se brief by December 16, 2022 if he desired to file a brief. On December 27, 2022, appellant filed a pro se letter asking this court not to grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and explaining there are sufficient grounds for appeal. Appellant also filed a motion requesting a copy of the appellate record.

After consideration, we grant appellant’s motion requesting a copy of the appellate record and order the clerk of this court to send appellant a copy of the record. If appellant desires to file a pro se brief, we order he do so by February 21, 2023. Appellant is reminded this court ordered counsel’s motion to withdraw held in abeyance pending further order of this court.
