COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
JOHNNY FAZ LOPEZ JR.
A/K/A JOHNNY FAZ LOPEZ, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 119th District Court
of Tom Green County, Texas.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza
Order Per Curiam
Appellant’s counsel filed an Anders brief in these causes. See Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 825 (Tex. Crim. App.
2005). These causes are currently before the Court on appellant's pro se motion
requesting (1) an extension of time to file his brief, and (2) a copy of the record on appeal
without cost. These appeals were transferred to this Court from the Third Court of
Appeals by order of the Texas Supreme Court. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.220(a)
(West Supp. 2011) (delineating the jurisdiction of appellate courts); TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN.
§ 73.001 (West 2005) (granting the supreme court the authority to transfer cases from
one court of appeals to another at any time that there is “good cause” for the transfer).
The Court, having examined and fully considered appellant’s motion, is of the
opinion that it should be granted as specified herein. The motion is GRANTED insofar
as it is ORDERED that the trial court ensure that appellant has the opportunity to fully
examine the appellate record on or before the expiration of twenty-one days from the date
of this order, and it is FURTHER ORDERED that the trial court notify this Court as to the
date upon which the appellate record was made available to appellant. Appellant shall
have thirty (30) days from the day the appellate record was first made available to him to
file his pro se brief with this Court.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
