TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-02-00692-CR

Dennis Michael Rainford, Jr., Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 403RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 2010059, HONORABLE DON B. MORGAN, JUDGE PRESIDING

O R D E R
PER CURIAM
Appellant's court-appointed counsel tendered a brief stating that the appeal in this
cause is frivolous.  See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); see also High v. State, 573 
S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974);
Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969).  Counsel failed, however, to certify that
he delivered a copy of the brief to appellant, and that he advised appellant of his right to examine
the record and file a pro se brief.  See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.  Counsel did not respond to a notice
by the Clerk seeking to resolve this problem informally.
Counsel for appellant, Mr. Gary Taylor, if he has not already done so, is ordered to
deliver a copy of his brief to appellant and to advise him of his right to examine the record and file
a pro se brief.  Counsel shall notify this Court in writing that he has complied with this order no later
than May 2, 2003.
It is ordered April 21, 2003.
