                                             Appellee

                                          ORDER
        In each of these appeals, appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a brief pursuant to
Anders v. California, 368 U.S. 738 (1967), in which he asserts there are no meritorious issues to
raise on appeal. Counsel has informed the appellant of his right to file his own brief. Nichols v.

176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 1996, no pet.). If the appellant desires to file a pro se
brief, he must do so within thirty days from the date of this order. See Bruns, 924 S.W.2d at 177
n.1. If the appellant files a pro se brief, the State may file a responsive brief no later than thirty
days after the date the appellant’s pro se brief is filed in this court. It is further ORDERED that
the motions to withdraw, filed by appellant’s counsel, are HELD IN ABEYANCE pending
further order of the court.
