Rares Mihai Halmagean v. State ( 2019 )

Order entered May 13, 2019
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-19-00089-CR
RARES MIHAI HALMAGEAN, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 199th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 199-83388-2017
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s May 6, 2019 motion requesting that the Court grant
counsel’s motion to withdraw and appoint new counsel. Counsel’s motion to withdraw was filed
pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). This case has not been submitted and
adjudicated under the Court’s Anders procedures. Accordingly, appellant’s motion is DENIED
as premature.
By letter dated April 23, 2019, the Court has informed appellant that he has a right to file
a response to counsel’s Anders brief and such response, if any, is due by May 23, 2019. Upon
submission of this case, the Court will adjudicate counsel’s motion to withdraw and determine
whether an arguable issue exists that would justify appointment of new counsel.
We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to transmit a copy of this order, by electronic
transmission, to all counsel of record.
We further DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to mail a copy of this order Rares Hihai
Halmagean; TDCJ No. 02239974; Gurney Unit; 1385 FM 3328; Palestine, Texas 75803.
