NICHOLAS “NICO” LaHOOD FILED IN Criminal District Attorney 4th COURT OF APPEALS SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS Bexar County, Texas 09/04/15 10:29:21 AM KEITH E. HOTTLE September 4, 2015 Clerk Keith E. Hottle Clerk of Court Fourth Court of Appeals Dolorosa, Suite 3200 San Antonio, Texas 78205 RE: Richard Lares v. The State of Texas 04-15-00183-CR Dear Mr. Hottle: Appellant filed a pro se brief after his appointed counsel filed a brief under Anders v. California. The State waives a response to the pro se brief. If, however, the Court does not find that this appeal is not frivolous and determines there is an arguable ground for appeal, then the State will respond once the meritorious issues have been briefed by new counsel or appellant following remand. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
