Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-01052-CR
RONALD TERRELL FLOYD, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-11185-M
ORDER
On June 26, 2014, appellate counsel filed a motion to withdraw and an Anders brief in
support of the motion to withdraw. In the motion, counsel states that he could not serve
appellant with a copy of the motion and brief because appellant had made parole and counsel did
not know appellant’s current address. By letter dated July 1, 2014, the Court notified counsel
that his statement that he could not locate appellant did not satisfy the requirements of either
Anders v. California, or the recent statement by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals of the
requirements of appellate counsel in Anders cases. See Kelly v. State, 2014 WL 2865901 (Tex.
Crim. App. June 25, 2014). We directed counsel to file, within fifteen days, an amended motion
to withdraw that includes appellant’s contact information and a copy of the letter sent to
appellant notifying him of his rights under Anders and Kelly. We warned that failure to do so
may result in the Court striking the Anders brief and ordering rebriefing. To date, counsel has
not complied.
Accordingly, we DENY the June 26, 2014 motion to withdraw as counsel and STRIKE
the Anders brief filed on June 26, 2014.
We ORDER appellate counsel to file, within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order,
either a brief raising issues on the merits or a brief and motion to withdraw that comply with the
requirements of Anders and Kelly.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to George
Conkey and the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.
