               Re:     Docketing Statement for Appeal of Cause Number 13F0528-102, The State
                       of Texas vs. Lorenzo Rena Martinez

Dear Ms. Autrey:

        Attached via internet filing you will find the above-referenced Docketing Statement for
filing with your office. I have not received an Appellate Docket Number. Therefore, I left it blank.

       Please note that I have filed with the trial court a Motion to Certify Inability to Pay with
Exhibit 1: Affidavit of Indigency. In this Motion, I have requested a hearing, if necessary.
Therefore, in the attached Docketing Statement, I did not check that a hearing has occurred.

       I went ahead and filed the Docketing Statement with information potentially left out as a
matter of prudence and in an effort to comply with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 20.2 and
32.2. Tex. Rul. App. Proc. 32.2 states that “[u]pon perfecting the appeal in a criminal case”. It could
be argued that a criminal appeal is “perfected” when a Notice of Appeal is filed with the trial court,
which was filed on December 8, 2015.

       If there is a hearing, I will file an updated Docketing Statement.

       Thank you for your consideration.

                                              Sincerely,

                                              Jonathan Randle Smolarz
