San Antonio, Texas

No. 04-16-00816-CR

Gilbert NAVARRO ,

Appellant

v.

The STATE of Texas,

Appellee From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas

Trial Court No. 15-0226-CR-C Honorable William Old, Judge Presiding

O R D E R

In this appeal, appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a brief and motion to withdraw pursuant to Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he asserts there are no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. On May 1, 2017, appellant filed a letter, requesting additional time to file his own brief or appointment of new counsel. On May 8, 2017, we explained to appellant that pursuant to the procedures outlined in Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967), appellant is not entitled to further appointed counsel unless this Court determines, after reviewing appellant’s attorney’s brief, any pro se brief filed, any brief filed by the State, and the appellate record, that appellant’s appeal is not frivolous. We did grant appellant additional time to file his pro se brief and ordered that any pro se brief must be filed on or before July 10, 2017. Appellant has not filed a brief in conformity with the Rules of Appellate Procedure. He did, however, file a letter on June 2, 2017. We construe his letter as his pro se brief. The State may file a responsive brief within thirty days of the date of this order.
