Re:   No. 05-16-01494-CR
      Trial Court No. F15-75578-R
      Jermaine John Scott v. The State of Texas

Dear Mr. Scott:

     Enclosed is copy of the Judgment and Memorandum Opinion
issued by the Court of Appeals affirming your conviction.

     I have reviewed the opinion and the brief that I filed on
your behalf, and I am of the opinion that your case does not
meet any of the six requirements of the law required for
Petitions for Discretionary Review to the Court of Criminal
Appeals sitting in Austin, Texas. (See Rule 66.3) Accordingly,
I will not be filing such petition on your behalf.

     You have the right to file a petition on your own behalf,
but you need to be aware of the following:

     (1)   The petition must be filed within 30 days from the
date of the judgment (by April 6, 2018) unless a request for
extension of time for filing a petition for discretionary review
is made and granted.   Request for extensions for time must be
addressed to the Court of Criminal Appeals sitting in Austin,
Texas,   and   are  only   granted   under  the   most   unusual
circumstances.

     (2)   The petition must set forth distinctly which one of
the six standards for review that you are relying upon for
review of your case.   I am enclosing a copy of Rule 66 of the
Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure which sets out those six
areas in Section 66.3.

     (3) You must set forth both the facts and the law that you
think are important to have the Court of Criminal Appeals review
your case; and

     (4) You must address the petition for discretionary review
to the Court of Criminal Appeals sitting in Austin, Texas, but
the petition for discretionary review must be filed with the
Court of Appeals for the Fifth District of Texas sitting in
Dallas, Texas. The mailing address for the Court of Appeals is:

          Lisa Matz, Clerk of the Court
          Court of Appeals
          Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
          George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building
          600 Commerce St., Second Floor
          Dallas, Texas 75202-4658

     I am sorry you did not prevail on appeal.    A copy of the
clerk’s record can be obtained by writing or contacting the
District Clerk, Crowley Courts Building, 133 No. Riverfront
