Original Court Document: View Document
Mark Allen Coker, the appellant, is involved in an appeal case against the State of Texas. His counsel filed an Anders brief indicating the appeal may lack merit. Counsel has confirmed sending a copy of the record to Coker, but Coker claims he does not have a hard copy to prepare his response. The court ordered counsel to provide Coker with copies of the clerk’s and reporter’s records within 14 days and to notify the court and relevant parties upon completion. Counsel must ensure compliance with rules regarding sensitive information in public records and redact any such information from the records sent to Coker. Coker is required to file a pro se response to the Anders brief within 30 days after being notified that the records have been forwarded. If the records are returned to the trial court clerk, Coker must not alter them and is to send the records back to the court along with his response. If Coker fails to comply with these orders, including returning the records, the court may dismiss the appeal based on the presumption of improper intentions regarding obtaining the records. This order was issued on December 20, 2017, and is not to be published.
