                     v.
                     The State of Texas


    Dear Mr. Williams:
           On November 20, 2017, your attorney, John W. Stickels, filed a motion to
    withdraw as attorney on appeal and a brief supporting that motion in the above
    cause. In these documents, your attorney has certified that in his opinion any
    appeal of your conviction would be wholly frivolous and without merit. In a letter
    to this court received November 27, 2017, you indicated that you wish to
    continue this appeal pro se. This letter is to inform you of the date by which your
    pro se response to the Anders brief must be filed.

           Your pro se response to the Anders brief in the above styled cause must
    be filed on or before Tuesday, February 20, 2018. If you do not file your brief on
    or before Tuesday, February 20, 2018, this court will assume that you do not
    intend to file a brief. The State will then have 30 days to respond. Once the
    State files its brief, if any, we will consider your appeal.
                                                                      FILE COPY
