                                            I.

       Mr. Savoy was charged with the felony offense of murder. On, July 20, 2015,

Mr. Savoy was convicted as charged and sentenced to forty (40) years imprisonment in

the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

                                            II.

       Mr. Savoy filed timely notice of appeal and on July 29, 2015, undersigned

counsel, of the Harris County Public Defender’s Office was appointed to represent him
