CLARK, Circuit Judge'
(concurring).
I do not concur in the affirmance of this case because Malone’s precedent compels it (which I agree it does). Rather, the facts in Kallie’s case do not warrant charging Texas with constructive notice that Kallie’s appeal rights were abridged. State knowledge that Kallie’s retained counsel had given oral notice of appeal in the trial court, followed by his counsel’s unsuccessful effort to get a new trial there, but not by further appeal-perfecting procedures, was not enough to signal that Kallie had a desire to appeal which had been thwarted by poverty.
