      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 undersigned attorney would show the Court the following:

      The Appellate Division of the Dallas County Public Defender’s Office was
appointed by the trial court to represent Appellant in the appeal of this conviction.
The undersigned attorney is the attorney assigned to the case.
                                           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. The undersigned attorney has filed an Anders brief with
this Court in support of this motion to withdraw.
                                           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 he so
desires and has sent Appellant a copy of the record. Appellant has also been
informed by the undersigned attorney that he may request an extension of time
from this Honorable Court to file a pro se brief if he so desires.
