Troy David CAMPEAU, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 451st Judicial District Court, Kendall County, Texas
Trial Court No. 16-755-CR
Honorable Kirsten Cohoon, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant's court-appointed attorney has filed a brief and motion to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. Counsel certifies he has served copies of the brief and motion on appellant, has provided appellant with a copy of the appellate record, and has informed appellant of his right to file his own brief.
If appellant desires to file a pro se brief, he must do so within forty-five days from the date of this order. See Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.).
The State has filed a notice waiving its right to file a brief in this case unless appellant files a pro se brief. If appellant files a timely pro se brief, the State may file a responsive brief no later than thirty days after appellant's pro se brief is filed in this court.
We further ORDER the motion to withdraw filed by appellant's counsel to be HELD IN ABEYANCE pending further order of the court. See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80-82 (1988); Schulman v. State, 252 S.W.3d 403, 410-11 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008).
