                       Honorable Philip A. Kazen, Jr., Judge Presiding

                                         ORDER
       Appellant’s court-appointed attorney filed an Anders brief, see Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738 (1967), in which counsel asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal.
Counsel has informed Appellant of his right to file his own brief. See 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.).
        If Appellant elects to file a pro se brief, he must do so within THIRTY DAYS from the
date of this order. See Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1. Appellant’s pro se brief must comply with
the applicable rules. E.g., TEX. R. APP. P. 38.1. Appellant may file his brief by mailing it to the
following address:
       Fourth Court of Appeals
       Cadena-Reeves Justice Center
       300 Dolorosa, Suite 3200
       San Antonio, Texas 78205-3130

     If Appellant files a pro se brief, the State may file a responsive brief no later than
THIRTY DAYS after the date Appellant’s pro se brief is filed in this court.
        Appellate counsel’s motion to withdraw is HELD IN ABEYANCE pending further order
of this court.
