ERNEST TYRONE HOWARD, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 178th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1408632
ORDER
Appellant's court-appointed counsel filed a brief in which she concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Appellant has filed two motions to access the appellate record, making known to this Court his desire to review the record and file a pro se brief. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). His motions are granted.
Accordingly, we hereby direct the Judge of the 178th District Court to afford appellant an opportunity to view the trial record in accordance with local procedure; that the clerk of that court furnish the record to appellant on or before August 17, 2016; that the clerk of that court certify to this court the date on which delivery of the record to appellant is made; and that appellant file his pro se brief with this court within thirty days of that date.
