       Appellant’s court-appointed counsel, Adam Banks Brown, filed a motion to
withdraw and appellate brief on December 13, 2018, concluding that the above-referenced
appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400

to a copy of the record to prepare a response and a motion requesting a 30-day extension
of time to file his pro se Anders brief response. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 315,
318–20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).
        Accordingly, the Court grants appellant’s motion requesting the record and orders
the district clerk, no later than 10 days from the date of this order, to provide a copy of the
clerk’s and reporter’s records to the pro se appellant. The trial court clerk shall further
certify to this Court, within 15 days of the date of this order, the date upon which delivery
of the records to the appellant is made.
       Finally, the Court grants appellant’s motion for an extension of time to file a pro se
Anders response. Appellant’s pro se response to his counsel’s Anders brief shall be filed
within 45 days of the date of this order.

       It is so ORDERED.
