Jerry Lee Pierce v. State
Jerry Lee Pierce v. State
Opinion
PER CURIAM
Appellant's court-appointed counsel has tendered a brief in which she states that this appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); see also High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). There is no indication, however, that counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant, or that she advised appellant of his right to examine the record and file a pro se brief. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744. Counsel did not respond to the Clerk's notice seeking to resolve this problem informally.
Counsel for appellant, Ms. Christine Byrd Webb, if she has not already done so, is ordered to deliver a copy of her brief to appellant and to advise him of his right to examine the record and file a pro se brief. Counsel shall certify to this Court in writing that she has complied with this order no later than November 14, 2003.
It is ordered October 27, 2003.
Before Chief Justice Law, Justices B. A. Smith and Patterson
