                             Fourth Court of Appeals
                                    San Antonio, Texas
                                           January 5, 2015

                                        No. 04-14-00517-CR

                                     Trisha Marie ANTHONY,
                                             Appellant

                                                  v.

                                       The STATE of Texas,
                                             Appellee

                   From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2010CR8748W
                           Honorable Melisa Skinner, Judge Presiding

                                           ORDER
        Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California,
368 U.S. 738 (1967), asserting there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal, and has
informed the appellant of her right to file her own pro se brief. 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.). The State has filed a letter waiving its right to file an appellee’s
brief unless appellant files a pro se brief. Appellant has timely filed a written request for a copy
of the record and a motion for extension of time to file a pro se brief. See Kelly v. State, 436
S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).

        Accordingly, it is ORDERED that appellant shall be promptly provided with a copy of
the appellate record. It is further ORDERED that appellant’s Motion for Extension is
GRANTED. Appellant’s pro se brief is due within thirty (30) 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 (30) days after the date the appellant’s pro se brief is filed in
this court.

court on this 5th day of January, 2015.
