NUMBER 13-19-00527-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
MARIO SIFUENTEZ, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 428th District Court
of Hays County, Texas.
ORDER
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Hinojosa
Order Per Curiam
Currently pending before the Court is appellant's pro se motion for access to the
appellate record. Appellant's counsel filed an Anders brief herein and appellant has been
unable to examine the record so that he can file a pro se brief. See Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Accordingly, we GRANT appellant’s motion and it is hereby
ORDERED that the trial court ensure appellant has the opportunity to fully examine the
appellate record on or before the expiration of thirty days from the date of this order, and
it is FURTHER ORDERED the trial court shall notify this Court as to the date upon which
the appellate record was made available to appellant. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313(Tex. Crim. App. 2014). Appellant shall have thirty (30) days from the day the appellate
record was first made available to him to file his pro se brief with this Court. The State
shall have twenty days thereafter to file its response, if any.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
