RE: Thompson v. State, Cause Number 12-15-00150-CR
Dear Ms. Lusk:
The State acknowledges receipt of the brief filed by Appellant’s counsel pursuant
to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in the above-listed cause(s). The brief
presents no claims of error; therefore, the State has no points to which to respond. See
TEX. R. APP. P. 38.2(a)(2). The State will not file any further response unless the Court
decides that the appeal is not frivolous and orders one. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744;
High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 810 (Tex.Crim.App. 1978).
Respectfully submitted,
D. MATT BINGHAM
Criminal District Attorney
Smith County, Texas
/s/ Michael J. West
