ORDER
Appellant's court-appointed attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which counsel asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal.

App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.).
If Appellant elects to file a pro se brief, he must do so within THIRTY DAYS from the date of this order. See Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1. If Appellant files a pro se brief, the State may file a responsive brief no later than THIRTY DAYS after the date Appellant's pro se brief is filed in this court.
Appellate counsel's motion to withdraw is HELD IN ABEYANCE pending further order of this court.
