Kenneth King v. State

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN





NO. 03-05-00554-CR





Kenneth King, Appellant


v.


The State of Texas, Appellee






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 331ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 3013128, HONORABLE BOB PERKINS, JUDGE PRESIDING





O R D E R

PER CURIAM

Appellant’s court-appointed counsel has tendered a brief in which he states that this appeal 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). There is no indication, however, that counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant, or that counsel advised appellant of his right to examine the record and file a pro se brief or other written response. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744. Counsel did not respond to the Clerk’s notice seeking to resolve this problem informally.

Counsel for appellant, Mr. Drew Phipps, if he has not already done so, is ordered to deliver a copy of his brief to appellant and to advise appellant of his right to examine the record and file a pro se brief. Counsel shall certify to this Court in writing that he has complied with this order no later than April 14, 2006.

It is ordered April 3, 2006.
