Per curiam.

O R D E R

The Court grants discretionary review on its own motion and would request briefing from the parties on the following question:

Does Rule 38.8(b) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure prevent an appellate court from dismissing a pro se criminal appellant's appeal due to the failure to timely file a brief?
