Dear Mr. Byrd:

      Based on my extensive review of the record, enclosed, please find a copy of
the Anders Brief and Motion to Withdraw as Counsel I have prepared and filed in
your case. After a diligent search of both the Clerk’s Record and the Reporter’s
Record in your case and the applicable law, it is my opinion that no reversible error
occurred during your trial. Please remember that I am bound by the Reporter’s
Record and Clerk’s Record when determining whether any error in your case
occurred.

       Whenever appellate counsel files a motion such as this, the law provides the
Appellant the right to review the record of the proceedings and file any brief which
he or she deems necessary. Because I have submitted such a brief, you now have
the right to review the record of your trial and file any brief which you deem
necessary. The brief must be filed within thirty days of today’s date, unless you
file a Motion for Extension of Time to file your pro se brief.

       In order to obtain the appellate record to prepare your brief, I have attached a
Motion for Pro Se Access to the Appellate Record for you to file. I have also
enclosed a stamped envelope for your convenience. You must sign and date the
motion and mail it to the Court of Appeals within ten days of the date of this letter
to this address:
Third Court of Appeals:

Hon. Jeffrey Kyle
Clerk of the Court
P.O. Box 12547
Austin, Texas 78711

       Should the Court of Appeals ultimately rule your appeal was frivolous, and
affirm your conviction and sentence, you may file a Pro Se Petition for
Discretionary Review with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. The address to
file your petition is:

Texas Court of Criminal Appeals:

Hon. Abel Acosta
Clerk of The Court
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals
P.O. Box 12308
Austin, Texas 78711

       You must file your petition within thirty days of the date of the Court of
Appeals’ opinion or request an extension of time to file your petition. Be sure to
attach a copy of the Court’s opinion to your petition should you choose to file one.

      Feel free to write me if you have any questions. I will do my best to answer
any questions you may have.

                                             Sincerely,

                                             /s/ Kristen Jernigan
