                                       No. 04-12-00651-CR

                                     Gregorio Ortiz GARZA,
                                            Appellant
                                               v.
                                      The STATE of Texas,
                                            Appellee

                            Honorable Sid L. Harle, Judge Presiding

                                          ORDER
        Appellant=s court-appointed appellate attorney filed an Anders brief in this appeal. See
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Counsel advised appellant of his right to review the
record and file his own brief, and explained to appellant the procedure for obtaining the record.
See Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.). Appellant
asserted his right to file a pro se brief and requested a copy of the appellate record.

        On February 7, 2013, this court ordered the Bexar County District Clerk to send a copy of
the appellate record to appellant and to file written proof in this court showing the date the record
was sent. The record was not sent to appellant and on April 22, 2013, he filed another request
for the record and for an extension of time to file his brief.

        On April 23, 2013, the Bexar County District Clerk filed a notice stating that a copy of
the record was sent to appellant by certified mail on April 23, 2013.

       We therefore order appellant=s pro se brief is due June 7, 2013.
