           Re:        State of Texas v. Williams, 2012-750-C1, 10-14-30-CR

Mr. Williams,

           Enclosed are copies of the Memorandum Opinion and a Judgment issued by the Tenth
Court ofAppeals. Unfortunately the Tenth Court has denied your appeal, and your judgment
and conviction are affirmed.
        Normally, within 30 days of the Judgment of the appellate court, the losing party may
file a Petition for Discretionary Review with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in Austin,
which is the court that reviews opinions of the fourteen intermediate appellate courts in Texas,
including the Tenth Court. That means that we would ask the Court of Criminal Appeals to
examine what the Tenth Court said and did and review that for any error of law. However, the
review on a Petition is not a matter of right; rather, the Court of Criminal Appeals first decides
whether or not it will even examine what happened in your case. A Petition will be granted
only for special reasons, most of which are set out in Rule 66.3 of the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure. They are:

           (a) whether a court of appeals' decision conflicts with another court of appeals' decision
           on the same issue;
           (b) whether a court of appeals has decided an important question of state or federal law
           that has not been, but should be, settled by the Court of Criminal Appeals;
           (c) whether a court of appeals has decided an important question of state or federal law
           in a way that conflicts with the applicable decisions of the Court of Criminal Appeals or
           the Supreme Court of the United States;
           (d) whether a court of appeals has declared a statute, rule, regulation, or ordinance
           unconstitutional, or appears to have misconstrued a statute, rule, regulation, or
           ordinance;
           (e) whether the justices of a court of appeals have disagreed on a material question of
                                                                              (Fyfitylblfi

       law necessary to the court's decision; and
       (0 whether a court of appeals has so far departed from the accepted and usual course of
       judicial proceedings, or so far sanctioned such a departure by a lower court, as to call
       for an exercise of the Court of Criminal Appeals' power of supervision.

       Under usual circumstances, there is only a very remote chance any Petition you filed
would be granted, that is, that the Court of Criminal Appeals would decide to examine what
happened in your case. Even then, that does not mean that you would ultimately win. It only
means that the Court of Criminal Appeals will review any questions raised in your Petition
about what happened in the Tenth Court. However, because of the reasons the Tenth Court
has given to decide your case, I feel there is no realistic chance the Court of Criminal Appeals
will hear your case. Therefore, I do not intend to file a Petition for Discretionary Review.
You may, however, file a Petition yourself if you wish, under Rule 68 of the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure. You must file the Petition with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals,
P.O. Box 12308, Austin, Texas 78711. It must be filed in thirty days.

       I am sorry there was nothing more to be done in your case. I did my best and all that I
could, and I wish things had turned out differently.

                                                       Sincere!

                                                       Richard G./Ferguson
