TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
      COMES NOW the undersigned attorney, and respectfully requests that she
be discharged as the attorney of record for the Appellant. In support of this
motion the Appellant would show the Court the following:
                                         I.
      The Appellate Division of the Dallas County Public Defender’s Office was
appointed by the trial court to represent Appellant in the appeal of her convictions.
The undersigned attorney was the attorney assigned to the cases.
                                         II.
      After a full review of the record in this cause, the undersigned attorney is of
the opinion that there are no arguable points of error or issues upon which an
appeal can be predicated and has filed an Anders brief with this Court.
                                        III.
      The undersigned attorney has informed Appellant that in her professional
opinion, the appeal is without merit. The undersigned attorney has also explained
that Appellant has the right to review the record and file a pro se brief if she so
desires and has sent Appellant a copy of the record. Appellant has also been
informed by the undersigned attorney that she may request an extension of time
from this Honorable Court to file a pro se brief if she so desires.
