RE: Case Numbers: 07-15-00199-CR, 07-15-00200-CR
Trial Court Case Numbers: 20,498-C, 24,698-C
Style: Destany Jenee Liles v. The State of Texas
Dear Ms. Liles:
On Wednesday, October 21, 2015, your appellate attorney filed an Anders brief and a motion
to withdraw from representation on your appeal. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct.
1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967). Documents on file indicate that you have been provided with a copy
of the Anders brief and motion, as well as a copy of the reporter’s and clerk’s records. See Kelly v.
State, 436 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).
Because your attorney has filed an Anders brief saying the attorney believes the trial court’s
judgments must be affirmed, the law requires the Court to review the record of your cases to see
whether it agrees with your attorney’s evaluation of your cases, or finds an issue requiring additional
appellate briefing. If the Court identifies an issue that arguably has merit, it will return the case to the
trial court to determine whether you may be entitled to appointment of new counsel.
You are not required to file a response to the Anders brief. You have the opportunity,
however, to file a response to point out to the Court any issues, claims of error, or concerns you
have about your cases. The Court will consider your response, if any, along with the Anders brief in
its review of the record. By Order of the Court, if you choose to file a response, you have until
Monday, November 23, 2015.
Very truly yours,
Vivian Long
VIVIAN LONG, CLERK
