I. Counsel is filing, simultaneously with this motion, a Brief for Appellant, in which she argues that there are no non-frivolous issues to be raised in Appellant’s appeal. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). For the reasons described in the brief, counsel moves that she be allowed to withdraw from representing Appellant further in this appeal. If this Court grants her motion, counsel will attempt to inform the Appellant of the result of his appeal and will also attempt to inform the Appellant that he may, on his own, pursue discretionary review in the Court of Criminal Appeals. See Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25, 27 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997). II. Counsel will send Appellant the trial court record, and requests the Court to grant Appellant additional time to file a pro se brief in addition to the brief that counsel is filing with this motion. Counsel will deliver to Appellant, by Certified Mail – RRR, a copy of this motion, as well as a copy of the Brief for Appellant brief and a copy of the entire appellate record. PRAYER For these reasons, counsel moves that she be allowed to withdraw as court- appointed attorney of record for the Appellant, VINCENT EDWARD BROUSSARD.
