Re:                    David Lynn Sellers v. The State of Texas

Appeal Number:         12-14-00352-CR & 12-14-00353-CR

Mr. Sellers,

      On January 22,2015, I received the opinion and judgment from the 12th Court of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals dismissed your appeal per your wishes.

        The next level to your appeal would be to the Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin, Texas.
The Court of Criminal Appeals is not required to hear appeals, unlike the 12thCourt of Appeals. The
Court of Criminal Appeals has discretionary review authority in criminal cases. Should you decide
to proceed to the next level of appeal in your case, therefore, you would need to file a Petition for
Discretionary Review (PDR) within thirty days of the date of the opinion of the 12th Court of
Appeals pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 68. The date of the opinion was January 21,
2015, so a PDR would be due to be filed with the 12th Court of Appeals no later than February 21,
2015. The 12th Court of Appeals would forward any PDR to the Court of Criminal Appeals. The
address to the12th Court of Appeals is 1517 West Front Street, Suite 354, Tyler, Texas 75702.

        Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
                                                                                   ~
