                                                  v.

                                       The STATE of Texas,
                                             Appellee

                   From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                         Trial Court No. 2015CR10879, 2015CR10880
                         Honorable Melisa C. Skinner, Judge Presiding

                                          ORDER
        Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California,
368 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal.
Counsel has informed the appellant of his right to file his own brief and provided appellant with
a form motion for requesting the appellate record. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319-20
(Tex. Crim. App. 2014); 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 the appellant desires to request the appellate record, he must file the motion requesting
the record within ten days from the date of this order. If the appellant desires 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 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.

                                                       _________________________________

court on this 2nd day of July, 2019.
