Carmelina VALENZUELA, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee


From the 198th Judicial District Court, Kerr County, Texas
Trial Court No. B10726
Honorable M. Rex Emerson, Judge Presiding

ORDER

On November 19, 2014, appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 368 U.S. 738 (1967), in which she asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. Counsel informed appellant of her right to file her own brief and obtain a copy of the record. 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.). Counsel provided appellant with a "Pro Se Motion for Access to Appellate Record." Appellant has not requested access to the record. On December 1, 2014, the State filed a letter waiving its right to file an appellee's brief unless the appellant files a pro se brief.

If the appellant desires to file a pro se brief, he must do so no later than January 29, 2015. See Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1. If the appellant files a pro se brief, the State may file a responsive brief no later than thirty days after the date the appellant's pro se brief is filed in this court. It is further ORDERED that the motion to withdraw, filed by appellant's counsel, is HELD IN ABEYANCE pending further order of the court.

We further ORDER the clerk of this court to serve a copy of this order on appellant, appellant's counsel, the attorney for the State, and the clerk of the trial court.
