In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-18-00103-CR
BRADLEY RAY SKIDMORE, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 8th District Court
Hopkins County, Texas
Trial Court No. 1726017
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ.
ORDER
Appellant Bradley Ray Skidmore was convicted of credit/debit card abuse and was
sentenced to nine months’ confinement. Skidmore has appealed from that conviction and the
resulting sentence. On September 17, 2018, Skidmore’s court-appointed appellate counsel, Gena
B. Bunn, filed an Anders 1 brief, and on October 24, 2018, Skidmore filed a pro se motion for
access to the appellate record for purposes of preparing a response to his counsel’s Anders brief.
Under Kelly v. State, 2 we are now required to enter an order specifying the procedure to be
followed to ensure Skidmore’s access to the record.
To ensure that Skidmore receives a complete copy of the appellate record in a timely
manner, we hereby order our clerk’s office to provide a complete copy of the appellate record, in
electronic format, to Skidmore care of the Hopkins County Jail. Allowing ten days for that record
to be delivered to Skidmore and giving Skidmore thirty days to prepare his pro se response, we
hereby set December 10, 2018, as the deadline for Skidmore to file his pro se response to his
counsel’s Anders brief.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
