TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:
       Comes now the State of Texas, by the undersigned assistant district attorney, and
respectfully waives the opportunity to file a brief in response to the Anders brief filed by the
appellant’s counsel. The State would respectfully show the Court the following:
                                                  I.
       In keeping with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct.
1396 (1967), appointed counsel for the appellant has filed a brief containing the conclusion
that this appeal is frivolous. The appellant has been notified of his right to review the
appellate record and to file a pro se brief.
                                                  II.
       A review of the appellant’s brief reveals no question of constitutional dimension or
other issue requiring review in the interest of justice.
