       Style: Marvin Roberts AKA Marvin Lawayne Roberts v. The State of Texas

       Dear Mr. Roberts:

               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 review the appellate record yourself and file a pro se
       response. If you desire to review the appellate record and file a pro se response, please write this
       Court by March 1, 2018 and make such a request. Otherwise, your case will be submitted upon
       the brief of your attorney.


                                              Respectfully,

                                              /s/ Lisa Matz, Clerk of the Court


       Enclosure
