Rodnell Herbert Turner v. State

Order filed April 15, 2021.

In The

Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________

NO. 14-20-00041-CR ____________

RODNELL HERBERT TURNER, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 337th District Court Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1605840

ORDER

Appellant appeals his conviction for assault of a family member. Appellant’s appointed counsel filed a brief in which counsel concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). We disagree with appellate counsel’s conclusion that there are no arguable issues for appeal. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.1 Accordingly, the case is abated and remanded to the trial court with instructions to appoint other counsel and have a supplemental clerk’s record containing that appointment filed with the clerk of this court within thirty (30) days of the date of this order.

The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this court’s active docket. The appeal will be reinstated on this court’s active docket when the trial court’s supplemental clerk’s record is filed with this court.

PER CURIAM

Panel Consists of Justices Jewell, Bourliot, and Hassan.
