From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas
Trial Court No. 16-1243-CR-A
Honorable William D. Old III, 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). On September 28, 2020, Appellant Leonard Chargualaf, an indigent inmate, moved this court for a free copy of the appellate record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.2.
Appellant's motion for a free copy of the appellate record is GRANTED.
We direct the clerk of this court to provide Appellant with a printed copy of the appellate record—the clerk's and reporter's records—at no cost to Appellant. See id.; Newman v. State, 937 S.W.2d 1, 3 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996) ("[T]he trial court has a duty to provide an indigent defendant with an adequate record on appeal.").
The appellate record is to be mailed to Appellant at the following address:
Leonard Chargualaf
SO# 16119-03
Guadalupe County Adult Detention Center
2615 N. Guadalupe Street
Seguin, Texas 78155-7356
Appellant's pro se brief is due on November 6, 2020. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a).
