IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-16-00269-CR
RAYMOND WEBER,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the County Court at Law
Walker County, Texas
Trial Court No. 15-0773
ORDER
This is in response to the document received from you by the Court on March 27,
2017.
First we note that the document was not served. Every document you send to this
Court must reflect that it was sent to all other parties of record. TEX. R. APP. P. 6.3. And
every pleading must be accompanied by proof of service which complies with the
requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure and any applicable filing fee.
TEX. R. APP. P. 9.5; 5. Proof of service may be in the form of a certificate of service. Id.
9.5(d). A certificate of service must state the name and address of each person served. Id.
(e)(2). This Court is not a party to this proceeding. We have attached a copy of your
document to this order so that you will not need to serve it before we can move the case
forward. Future filings should be served according to the rules or risk being struck and
not considered by the Court.
Appellant’s request for additional time to prepare a response to his attorney’s
Anders brief is granted. Appellant’s response is due April 20, 2017.
Because the response needed to a brief in support of a motion by appointed
counsel to withdraw must only direct the Court to the issues appellant wants the Court
to focus on when reviewing the record for potentially meritorious issues, the response is
not required to comply with formal briefing requirements. Wilson v. State, 955 S.W.2d
693, 697 (Tex. App.—Waco 1997, order). Further, the Court and its staff cannot advise
appellant on legal issues such as whether appellant can, or how to, submit evidence in
this appeal or with his response.
