Trisha Marie ANTHONY, Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas, Appellee

From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2010CR8748W Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding

ORDER Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 368 U.S. 738 (1967), asserting there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal, and has informed the appellant of her right to file her own pro se brief. 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 appellant files a pro se brief. Appellant has timely filed a written request for a copy of the record and a motion for extension of time to file a pro se brief. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that appellant shall be promptly provided with a copy of the appellate record. It is further ORDERED that appellant’s Motion for Extension is GRANTED. Appellant’s pro se brief is due within thirty (30) 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 (30) days after the date the appellant’s pro se brief is filed in this court.
