v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,

From the 198th Judicial District Court, Bandera County, Texas
Trial Court No. CR-12-040
Honorable M. Rex Emerson, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On March 12, 2015, appellant’s court-appointed attorney, Mr. Patrick Maguire, filed a
brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 368 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he asserts there are no
meritorious issues to raise on appeal. Counsel informed the appellant of his right to file his own
brief and provided appellant with a copy of the appellate record. 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.). On March 20, 2015, the State filed a letter waiving its right
to file an appellee’s brief unless the appellant files a pro se brief. Appellant’s pro se brief was
due April 27, 2015, but appellant has not filed the brief or a motion for extension of time.
If appellant desires to file a pro se brief, he must do so no later than May 27, 2015. If
appellant does not file a pro se brief by May 27, 2015, this appeal will be submitted for
consideration without benefit of his brief.
