Nabor Marquiz RAMOS, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 379th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2019CR1644 Honorable Ron Rangel, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
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 informed appellant of his right to review the record and file his own brief, and has explained to appellant the procedure for obtaining the record. See Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 1996, no pet.).
If appellant desires to obtain a copy of the appellate record, he should file a motion within ten days from the date of this order. Further, 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, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1.
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).
