Richard Dykes Inmate 01898245 Bradshaw Unit PO Box 9000 Henderson, TX 75653 By Certified Mail Re: Appeal Mr. Dykes: Please find enclosed a copy of the opinion issued by the Twelfth Court of Appeals in your case.

Because you did not timely file a notice of appeal the Court of Appeals has dismissed your appeal.

You do have the right to file a pro se Petition for Discretionary Review in the Court of Criminal Appeals should you desire to do so. If you decide to pursue that option you must file your petition prior to the expiration of thirty days from the date of the court’s opinion.

As always, should you have any questions I will be happy to assist in any way that I can.

Sincerely,

Austin Reeve Jackson
