                     v.
                     The State of Texas


    Dear Mr. White:

          Your court-appointed attorney, J. Warren St. John, filed a motion to
    withdraw as counsel 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.

           Your attorney has provided this court with a copy of a letter that was sent
    to you on May 24, 2018. In that letter, your attorney states that copies of the
    motion and brief have been delivered to you. Your attorney also states in the
    letter that a form motion for pro se access to the appellate record has been
    provided to you should you wish to review it for the purpose of filing a pro se
    response to the Anders brief in which you point out any alleged errors that you
    feel were committed in your trial.
                                                                          FILE COPY

      If you wish to examine the record and file a pro se response, please sign
and date the motion for pro se access to the appellate record that your attorney
provided you and send it to the Second Court of Appeals within fourteen (14)
days of the date of this letter. The address for the Second Court of Appeals is
401 W. Belknap, Suite 9000, Fort Worth, Texas 76196. After you have been
provided access to the appellate record, the court will then set a due date for
your pro se response to be filed.

      If you do not file a motion for pro se access to the appellate record within
fourteen (14) days of the date of this letter, this court will assume that you do
not wish to file a pro se response to the Anders brief and that you have nothing to
add to the brief filed by your attorney.


                                      Respectfully yours,

                                      DEBRA SPISAK, CLERK
