     Re:       05-15-00569/00570-CR
               Earnest Olivarrez v. The State of Texas

     Dear Mr. Olivarrez:

             Your attorney has filed a brief in which she states she has determined your appeals are
     frivolous and without merit. A copy of that brief is enclosed with this letter.

             You have a right, if you so desire, to file a pro se response. Counsel has informed the Court
     that a copy of the record has been mailed to you. Therefore, we will not separately order that the
     record be made available to you. If you desire to file a pro se response, you must file it by January
     28, 2016. Otherwise, your cases will be submitted upon the brief of your attorney.

                                                               Sincerely,

                                                     /s/       Lisa Matz, Clerk


     Enclosure
