ORDER
------------
We have considered retained counsel David Wacker’s Motion to Withdraw
as Attorney of Record.
Although Wacker did not file a brief under Anders v. California, 386 U.S.
738 (1967), he did state in his motion to withdraw that he was “unable to find any
arguable ground of error, as defined by Anders.” If appellant wishes to file a
response to counsel’s motion on his own behalf, the response must be filed on or
before Monday, August 14, 2017. If appellant does not file a pro se response
on or before Monday, August 14, 2017, this court will assume that he does not
FILE COPY
intend to do so. The State will then have thirty (30) days to respond. Once the
State files a response or brief, or notifies this court that it declines to do so, we
will consider the appeal without briefing, as Wacker and appellant acknowledged
at the May 23, 2017 abatement hearing held in the trial court in accordance with
our May 1, 2017 order. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(4).
If instead of filing a pro se response appellant obtains new counsel,
appellant shall notify this court immediately.
The clerk of this court is directed to transmit a copy of this order to
appellant and the attorneys of record.
DATED July 14, 2017.
