Ricky Berry v. The State of Texas
ORDER
Trial court: 182nd District Court of Harris County
Appellant's court-appointed counsel, Terrence Gaiser, filed a brief concluding that the above-referenced appeal is frivolous. However, counsel has not filed the required motion to withdraw as counsel, in accordance with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967). Counsel "is required to file a motion to withdraw at the same time that he files an Anders brief." In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 406, 408 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (stating that Anders brief "accompanies the motion to withdraw as an assurance to the appellate court that the attorney has indeed made a thorough and conscientious examination of the record, has provided the appellate court with the appropriate facts of the case and its procedural history, and has pointed out any potentially plausible points of error").
We order Terrence Gaiser to file the required motion to withdraw, in accordance with Anders and Schulman, no later than 10 days from the date of this order. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744, 87 S. Ct. at 1400; In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 406.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: Michael Massengale
