Opinion

Motion Granted; Order filed September 24, 2015

In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-15-00277-CR ____________ ASTROROID DEWAYNE BENTON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 248th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1412553

ORDER Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Appellant has filed a motion for pro se access to the appellate record. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). Appellant’s motion is granted.

Accordingly, we hereby direct the Judge of the 248th District Court to afford appellant an opportunity to view the trial record in accordance with local procedure; that the clerk of that court furnish the record to appellant on or before October 9, 2015; that the clerk of that court certify to this court the date on which delivery of the record to appellant is made; and that appellant file his pro se brief with this court within thirty days of that date.
