Opinion:
PER CURIAM
In Trial Court Case No.15,026, appellant Deanna Kathryn Lara was convicted of three counts of Sexual Assault of a Child (Counts I, V, and VII) and five counts of Improper Relationship between Educator and Student (Counts II, III, IV, VI, and VIII). The jury assessed Lara's punishment at 10 years in prison for each count. The sentences were ordered to run concurrently. Eight judgments were signed, one for each count.
Lara filed one notice of appeal, showing her desire to appeal from "the judgment of conviction and sentence" rendered against her in Trial Court Case No. "15,026-Counts 1-8." The appeal therefore bears one case number, Court of Appeals No. 10-17-00326-CR.
Lara's appointed appellate counsel filed a brief challenging only the judgment and sentence for Count IV. Because Lara did not challenge the judgment for Counts I through III and V through VIII, a brief bringing any alleged error or an Anders -type motion to withdraw and a supporting brief as to Counts I through III and V through VIII must be filed in this proceeding within 30 days from the date of this order. See Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). If counsel files a motion to withdraw, counsel should also file a motion to sever as to any or all counts as to which the motion applies. See Kirven v. State , No. 10-14-00122-CR (Tex. App.-Waco Oct. 22, 2015, order) (not designated for publication). See also Loredo v. State , No. 10-15-00322-CR (Tex. App-Waco Apr. 21, 2016, order) (not designated for publication); Keene v.
