San Antonio, Texas

No. 04-20-00333-CR
Zohair AHMED,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 290th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2017CR2128A
The Honorable Jennifer Pena, Judge Presiding
ORDER
On August 23, 2021, we issued an order striking the appellant’s brief for failure to
comply with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), and ordering a
compliant Anders brief to be filed within fourteen days. Counsel for appellant filed a response
stating that the appellant’s brief is not intended to be an Anders brief because it would prejudice
appellant’s ability to pursue federal relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. After further consideration,
we REINSTATE the appellant’s brief filed on August 19, 2021. The State’s brief, or any waiver,
is due thirty (30) days from the date of this order.
