                                  RICHARD LARES,
                                     Appellant

                                         V.

                                THE STATE OF TEXAS,

                                     Appellee

                                      NOTICE

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT OF APPEALS:

       COMES NOW, Richard Lares, TDCJ #1592255, Appellant herein,   in style and

cause and provides Notice of Requested PSI Report Not Being Given to Appellant

and in support presents the following:

                                         I.

       Appellant avers that he has submitted his Request for a copy of the PSI,

PreSentence Investigation Report, and said documents have not been provided to

the Appellant for his review.    On July 1,2015 Appellant provided the Honorable

Justices with a Motion Requesting PSI Report and Appellant avers that the Clerk

for the Fourth Court of Appeals did not send him any letter to the effect of

receiving said Motion.    All of the other Motions and Notices triggered a respo

nse from the Clerk, buL said Motion has not been referred to in any Clerk letter.

                                         II.

       Appellant has been without Counsel since June 12,2015.   Appellant has sub

mitted several Motions some have been processed and accepted while one      Motion

for Bail/Bond was Denied but the Motion for PSI Report lias not been answered at

all.   It may have been a Clerk oversite an Appellant Requests this document be

cause said document is Required in order to develops Appellant's claim for the

trial court's abuse of discretion and denial of due process during pretrial pro

ceedings and before the entry of plea.
                                        III.

     Appellant has made good faith effort to try an obtain a copy of the PSI

from trial counsel and has made numerous requests under the Freedom of inform

ation Act, the Open Records Act, and Appellant even quoted Case Law in an effort

to obtain a copy from Appellant's Client file which he is entitled to. In re

Patriot McCann, 422 S.W.3d 701(Tex.Crim.App.2013)("Hie client's file belongs to

the client.").   A copy of Appellant's requests are exhibited as exhibits 1 and 2.

Exhibit 1 is Appellant's Freedom of Information Act to counsel for a complete

     copy of appellant's client file and to include the PSI Report and counsel's

     Notice of intent to Present 404B witness against his own client.

Exhibit 2 is Appellant's Request for Appellant's Client file complete copy to

     indued the PSI Report with Case Law in support.

None of Appellant's letter have been answered and the State also refused to Gra

nt Appellant said documents as well .    Appellant has submitted Motions to Comp

el the State District Court and Motions Requesting PSI Report but all have been

ignored and Not Ruled on, therefore Appellant seeks the Honorable Justices' as-

sitance to obtain said documts in order to develope Appellant's claims and wit

hout said documents Appellant is Denied Due Process under the Fourteenth Amend

ment of the United States Cosntitution during this Appeal's Proceedings.

     WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant Prays that the Hon. Justices Grant

him Requested Documents in the interest of justice and due course of law, Appe

llant thus far has been denied his liberty in all court proceedings and only

asks for documents that sustain his innocence, as a U.S.Army Special Forces Com

bat Veteran Appellant asks for nothing more than assistance in this process.

SO MOVED, SO PRAYED FOR.

                                                 Sincerely Submitted,    . ££• :^

                              CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE

     I have read the pleadings and to the best of my knowledge and belief, for

med after reasonable inquiry, that the instrument is not groundless, or brought

in bad faith or brought for the purpose of harrassmant, unnessary delay, or

any other improper purpose.   That on August 8,2015 a trua and correct copy of

the forgoings was.sent to the Clerk of the Fourth Court of Appeals at Cadena-Re-

eves Justice Center, 300 Dolorosa, Suite 3200, San Antonio, Texas 78205-3037 and

Appellant requests that the Clerk please send a copy to the Repsondent because

the appellant is indigent and Pack 1 Unit Law Library Ofc. Siegle said that the

Court Clerk is informed to be able to do service on the respondent.

                                                 Sincerely,

                                                 Richard Lares, Pro Se
