    RE:      Court of Appeals Number: 01-15-00039-CR           Trial Court Case Number: CR30923

    Style: Thomas Nolan White v. The State of Texas

            Your court-appointed lawyer has filed a brief stating that the record on appeal shows no
    reversible error in your case, or error upon which an appeal may be based, and your lawyer is
    unable to raise any arguable grounds for appeal. Your lawyer waived oral argument and also has
    or will file a motion to withdraw from any further responsibilities of representing you. The
    motion filed by your lawyer is also known as an "Anders Brief." See Anders v. California, 386
U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967).

           This letter serves as notice that you may file a Response to your lawyer's Anders Brief on
    or before March 25, 2015, or may file a motion to extend the time you have to file a Response
    with the court. If you choose to ask for more time to file a Response, then you must file your
    motion for an extension of time to file a Response on or before March 25,2015,

            You are entitled to a copy of the record on appeal in your case. If you would like a copy
    of the record, you must complete the attached motion form and return it to the First Court of
    Appeals, 301 Fannin Street, Houston, TX 77002.

           If you file a Response to the Anders Brief, it should state what arguable grounds you
    believe a lawyer appointed to represent you should include in an appellate brief. See Bledsoe v.
    State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
                      NOTICE TO COURT-APPOINTED COUNSEL

       Upon receipt of a request for a copy of the appellate record, this court directs that
Appellant's court-appointed counsel shall (1) make arrangements, within five days from the date
of receiving Appellant's request, to forward a copy of the appellate record to Appellant and (2)
confirm that Appellant has received the record and notify this court in writing that counsel has
confirmed that appellant has received a copy of the record. Court-appointed counsel may
discharge the responsibility for preparing arid delivering the record to the Appellant by making
arrangements with the district or county clerk, however it is still counsel's responsibility to
confirm delivery and to provide confirmatory notice to this court. See Escobar v. State, 134
S-.-W.3d 338, 339-40 (Tex. App.—Amarillo 2003) (order); Pitchford v. State, No. 07-05-0254-
CR, 2006 WL 1587153 (Tex. App.—Amarillo June 9, 2006) (order) (not designated for
publication).

       The State's Response, or waiver, is due 30 days after Appellant files a Response, or the
due date for the Appellant's Response has passed.

                                                   Sincerely,

                                                   Christopher A. Prine, Clerk of the Court
