The State of Texas Your court-appointed lawyer has filed a brief stating that the record on appeal shows no reversible error in your case, or error upon which an appeal may be based, and your lawyer is unable to raise any arguable grounds for appeal. Your lawyer waived oral argument and also has or will file a motion to withdraw from any further responsibilities of representing you. The motion filed by your lawyer is also known as an "Anders Brief." See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967). This letter serves as notice that you may file a Response to your lawyer's Anders Brief on or before March 25, 2015, or may file a motion to extend the time you have to file a Response with the court. If you choose to ask for more time to file a Response, then you must file your motion for an extension of time to file a Response on or before March 25,2015, You are entitled to a copy of the record on appeal in your case. If you would like a copy of the record, you must complete the attached motion form and return it to the First Court of Appeals, 301 Fannin Street, Houston, TX 77002. If you file a Response to the Anders Brief, it should state what arguable grounds you believe a lawyer appointed to represent you should include in an appellate brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
