RE: Appeal of Probation Revocation 

Appellate Cause #12-14-00245-CR

Twelfth Court of Appeals, Tyler, TX 

Dear Mr. Christian: 

Enclosed herewith please find the following documents: 

1. a copy of the brief I filed in your case;

2. a Motion to Withdraw; and

3. Motion for Pro Se Access to the Appellate Record

After several careful readings of the record in your case, there does not 

appear to be and meritorious issues to be raised on direct appeal. 

Because I have filed this brief and a Motion to Withdraw, you have the 

right to request a copy of the record in your case, to file a pro se brief 

in your case, and to request an extension of time to file. This extension 

must be filed with the Court of Appeals no later than February 12, 2015. 

EXHIBIT A
I am notifying you that this Brief requests that the appeal be found to 

be frivolous and be dismissed. Along with the Brief, a Motion to 

Withdraw has been filed requesting permission of the appellate court 

for Counsel to withdraw from this case that if granted, would leave you

representing yourself as a pro se litigant. 

I am further advising you that you have a right to prepare and file a pro 

se Brief, meaning that Appellant can prepare and file with the appellate 

court his own pro se Brief, under his own signature, pointing out to the 

appellate court any errors or problems he sees in the record or any 

reason why Appellant feels the appeal is not frivolous. You also have 

a right to request an extension of time to file your brief. The brief 

and/or the extension request must be filed with the Court of Appeals 

no later than February 12, 2015. 

 You also have a right to review the record before filing a pro se Brief. 

If you desires to file a pro se Brief with the appellate court, then you

should immediately file a Motion for Pro Se Access to the Appellate 

Record with the appellate court. In this letter I have included a form 

Motion for Pro Se Access to the Appellate Record for this purpose. The 

form motion lacks only your signature and the date, and it informs you 

that, in order to preserve and pursue his right to review the appellate 

record, if you choose to invoke it, you must sign and date the form 

motion and send it on to the court of appeals within ten days of the 

date of this letter. 

Finally, you are further advised that if you present a pro Se Brief 

or Motion for Pro Se Access to the Appellate Record to the appellate 

court [Twelfth Court of Appeals, 1517 West Front Street, Suite 354, Tyler, 

Texas 75702, Attention: Cathy Lusk, Clerk], then you must also: 
1) provide a copy of his Brief to Counsel [Allen W. Ross, P.O. Box 528,

Jacksonville, Texas 75766]; 2) provide a copy of his Brief to the 

State [Rachel Patton, P.O. Box 450, Rusk, Texas 75785]; and 3) 

include in his Brief a written statement (“Certificate of Service”) that 

you sent copies of his Brief and/or Motion to Counsel and to the 

State. 

Sincerely, 

ALLEN W. ROSS
