Donald BRASSFIELD, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas
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. We set Appellant's brief due on May 4, 2020.
Before the extended due date, Appellant requested a 180-day extension to file his brief. He asserts his unit is in lockdown because of the COVID-19 response, and he is unable to access the law library to prepare his pro se brief.
Appellant's motion is GRANTED IN PART. Appellant's brief is due on July 6, 2020.
