Allen Keith Alexander v. The State of Texas
ORDER ON MOTION Trial court case number: 1511204 Trial court: 337th District Court of Harris County
Appellant's court-appointed counsel, Melissa Martin, filed a motion to withdraw and appellate brief on April 18, 2019, concluding that the above-referenced appeal, as well as the related appellate cause number 01-18-00959-CR, is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967). On April 25, 2019, appellant, Allen Keith Alexander, in the above appellate cause number 01-18-00958-CR only, filed a pro se motion for access to the appellate record to prepare a response and also requests a 30-day extension of time to file his pro se Anders brief response. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 315, 318-20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).
Accordingly, the Court grants appellant's pro se motion for access to the appellate record and orders the district clerk, no later than 10 days from the date of this order, to provide a copy of the clerk's and reporter's records to the pro se appellant. The trial court clerk shall further certify to this Court, within 15 days of the date of this order, the date upon which delivery of the records to the appellant is made.
Finally, the Court grants appellant's motion for an extension of time to file a pro se Anders response. Appellant's pro se response to his counsel's Anders brief shall be filed within 45 days of the date of this order.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s/ Justice Evelyn V. Keyes
