                                RICHARD LARES,
                                   Appellant

                                      V.

                             THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                  Appellee

                                    Notice

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICE(S) OF SAID COURT:

     Comes Now, Richard Lares, Appellant herein, in style and cause, and provi-

des Notice that your Appellant has received an incomplete copy of Appellant's
amended pro se brief and in support provides the following:

                                      I-

     The Honorable Court's ORDER OF November 24,2015 instructed the Honorable

Clerk to "enclose a copy of this court's opinion and a copy of appellant's ame
nded pro se brief filed on August 24,2015 with this order."
                                      II.

     Appellant's letter to the Honorable Clerk Dated: Aug.19,2015 stated, "This
Brief shall replace the original Brief I submitted (only the Brief). The Exhi
bits and Affidavits and AE(Appeal Exhibits) please keep together and add to Brief
because I refer to those documents thiat were part of the original Brief."

                                     III.

     Appellant avers that he did not receive any copy of his original Exhibits,
Affidavits, and AE(Appeal Exhibits) that were part of his Original Brief that
were submitted prior to Appellant's Amended Brief.   Also, stipulated in his
letter to the Clerk was "Please extract Pages 23 and 25 from my original brief

and respectfully place them in this (amended) Brief as Pages 51 and 52."
                                      IV.

    It appears to Appellant that this Honorable Clerk may have;.overlooked this

                               QXXA 1
reasonable request to extract those documents from the Original Brief and to

incorporate them into Appellant's Amended Brief, and as such was NOT part of
the documents Appellant Received on December 2,2015 (8 days later from the
Court's Order of November 24,2015). This inadvertence may have also Prejudiced
Appellant's Appeall Proceedings for lack of substantial showing of Appellant's
                                      \
Claims, further denying Appellant any Fair Trial Proceedings during .Appeal.

                                     PRAYER

    WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the Honorable Justices

GRANT this Notice and send Appellant the remainder of the documents that were

not sent to him,,in the interest of Justice, and to further grant any relief

under its jurisdiction to reconsidering"the merits of Appellant's Amended Brief

because of the Honorable Clerk's possible inadvertence to incorporate these
material credible exculpatory evidence into Appellant's Amended Brief and
any other relief.   SO MOVED, SO PRAYED FOR.

                                                Sincerely Submitted,

                                                                  CuAtQ     -""
