Dear. Mr. Williams:
       I received t h e opinion f r o m t h e T w e l f t h C o u r t of Appeals. E n c l o s e d is a c o p y o f that
opinion a n d t h e judgment f r o m that court. T h e Court of Appeals ruled against y o u i n that
they found that the statements that you m a d e to the deputy at the scene of the arrest w e r e
admissible because they w e r e not the product of a custodial interrogation given without
Miranda warnings
            T h e next level t oyour appeal would be t o the Court o f Criminal Appeals in Austin,
Texas. T h e Court of Criminal Appeals is not required t o hear appeals, unlike the Twelfth
Court of Appeals. T h e Court of Criminal Appeals h a s discretionary review authority in
criminal cases. Should y o u decide t o proceed t o the next level o f appeal in your case,
therefore, y o u w o u l d n e e d t o file a P e t i t i o n f o r Discretionary R e v i e w ( P D R ) w i t h i n thirty
days o fthe date ofthe opinion o fthe Twelfth Court ofAppeals pursuant to T e x a s Rule of
Appellate Procedure 6 8 . I a m including Section Five o f t h e T e x a s Rules o f Appellate
Procedure, Rules 66-79, for your convenience. T h e date of the opinion w a s N o v e m b e r 18,
2015, s o a P D R w o u l d b e d u e t o b e filed with t h e T w e l f t h Court o f A p p e a l s n o later t h a n
thirty (30) days f r o m this date. T h e T w e l f t h Court o f A p p e a l s w o u l d fonward a n y P D R t o
t h e C o u r t o f Criminal Appeals. T h e address t o t h e T w e l f t h C o u r t o f A p p e a l s is 1 5 1 7 W e s t
Front Street, Suite 354, Tyler, T e x a s 75702. 1 d o not feel that grounds exist justifying the
filing o f a P D R in y o u r c a s e . W h i l e I d i s a g r e e w i t h t h e Court's ruling, t h e y c o n s i d e r e d t h e
