been assigned to the maximum security, French M. Robertson Unit,
in Jones County, Abilene, Texas. Appellant has limited access
and restricted availability, to legal research tools in the
prison's law library, and the TDCJ-CID 'does not' provide any
copying service for court documents, to inmate litigants, and

representing Appellant, through this additional litigation
provided by the State, to exhaust state court remedies of lower
court decisions for criminal appeals. Additionally, Appellant
is not paid any wage for any prison labor he may perform, and
Texas does not allow Appellant to handle any cash or own and
operate any revenue earning business, without prison officials's
permission. Prison officials, have not granted Appellant any
authorization, to own or operate a business while confined.
