Trial Court No. 16-1733-CR-A
Honorable William Old, Judge Presiding
ORDER
In this appeal, Appellant's court-appointed counsel filed an Anders brief and notified Appellant of his right to file a pro se brief. Thereafter, the State waived its right to file a response to the Anders brief. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Appellant, an indigent inmate, requested a copy of the appellate record, which this court sent. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.2.
On March 31, 2020, Appellant stated he did not receive volume 8 of the reporter's record, for the proceedings on April 16, 2019, and requested a free copy of that volume and an extension of time to file his pro se brief.
Appellant's motion is GRANTED.
We direct the clerk of this court to provide Appellant with a printed copy of volume 8 of the reporter's record at no cost to Appellant. The appellate record will be mailed to Appellant at the following address:
Donald Brassfield
TDCJ Number 2270561
Eastham Unit
2665 Prison Road #1
Lovelady, TX 75851
Appellant's pro se brief will be due THIRTY DAYS after this court mails Appellant a printed copy of the requested portion of the appellate record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a).
