Trisha Marie ANTHONY, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2010CR8748W
Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant's court-appointed attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. Counsel has informed the appellant of her right to access the appellate record and to file her own brief. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); see also Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1996, no pet.). The State has filed a letter waiving its right to file an appellee's brief unless appellant files a pro se brief.
If the appellant desires to file a pro se brief, she must do so within thirty (30) days from the date of this order. If the appellant files a pro se brief, the State may file a responsive brief no later than thirty days after the date the appellant's pro se brief is filed in this court. It is further ORDERED that the motion to withdraw filed by appellant's counsel is HELD IN ABEYANCE pending further order of the court.
