Fourth Court of Appeals
                                  San Antonio, Texas
                                         March 7, 2018

                                      No. 04-17-00312-CR

                                 Saturnino GUTIERREZ JR.,
                                           Appellant

                                                v.

                                     The STATE of Texas,
                                           Appellee

                From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 15-0462-CR-A
                           Honorable William Old, Judge Presiding

                                         ORDER

       In this appeal, Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed an Anders brief and notified
Appellant of his right to file a pro se brief. Thereafter, the State waived its right to file a
response to the Anders brief. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). On March
1, 2018, Appellant Saturnino Gutierrez Jr., who is indigent, moved this court for a free copy of
the appellate record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 20.2.
       Appellant’s motion for a free copy of the appellate record is GRANTED.
        We direct the clerk of this court to (1) provide Appellant with a printed copy of the
appellate record—the clerk’s and reporter’s records—at no cost to Appellant, (2) record in this
court’s records the date the appellate record was mailed to Appellant, and (3) do both these tasks
within FIVE DAYS of the date of this order. See id.; Newman v. State, 937 S.W.2d 1, 3 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1996) (“[T]he trial court has a duty to provide an indigent defendant with an
adequate record on appeal.”).
       The appellate record should be mailed to Appellant at the following address:
               Saturnino Gonzalez Jr.
               TDCJ Number 01861143
               McConnell Unit
               3001 Emily Drive
             Beeville, TX 78102-8696
       Appellant’s pro se brief will be due THIRTY-FIVE DAYS after this court mails
Appellant a printed copy of the appellate record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a).
