ORDER
On May 21, 2012, appellant's appointed counsel filed briefs which urge the Court to review these appeals pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Counsel certified that copies of the briefs have been furnished to the appellant, and that he notified appellant of his right to review the records and file pro se briefs. The Court finds that appellant must be granted an extension of time to file a pro se brief.
It is ORDERED that counsel for appellant ensure that appellant has access to a copy of the clerk's records and reporter's records, which may include either providing appellant with copies of the records, or assisting appellant in obtaining access to the duplicate records pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(g) and 34.6(h) upon request by the appellant.
It is, therefore, ORDERED that appellant, Darrell Wayne Hal, be given 60 days from the date hereof to file pro se briefs. It is, further, ORDERED that the State may file reply briefs, due 30 days from the date appellant files his briefs, or if no briefs are filed by appellant, 70 days from the date hereof.
