Oscar Axcel Duron v. The State of Texas
ORDER Trial court case number: 1507865 Trial court: 176th District Court of Harris County
Appellant's court-appointed counsel has filed a brief concluding that the above-referenced appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Although the brief refers to counsel's Motion to Withdraw, counsel has not filed a motion to withdraw from representation in this appeal. An Anders brief must accompany a motion to withdraw, neither the brief nor the motion may be filed on its own. See id.; In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 406-08 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008).
Accordingly, we direct appellant's appointed counsel, Abbie Russell, to file with the Clerk of this Court within 14 days of the date of this order a motion to withdraw that complies with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 6.5 and 9. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5, 9; Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 410, 412.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Julie Countiss
