Dear Ms. Estes,

RE: Case Number: 12-16-00062-CR

Trial Case Number: F1521620

Styled: Michael Wayne Hogan v. The State of Texas

The State, hereinafter Appellee, acknowledges receipt of the Anders brief filed by Appellant’s counsel. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief filed by Appellant’s counsel presents no claim of error, illustrating counsel’s reasoning for the same supported by case law, and counsel has requested permission to withdraw. See Id. at 744 (stating “if counsel finds his case to be wholly frivolous, after a conscientious examination of it, he should so advise the court and request permission to withdraw.”); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978) (noting Appellant’s counsel must brief the reviewing court, citing “‘ready references not only to the record, but also to the legal authorities as furnished it by counsel.’” (quoting Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 745 (1967)).

There being no claim of error, Appellee cannot point to any issue in Appellant’s brief that merits a response as required by 38.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. TEX. R. APP. P. 38.2(a)(2). Therefore, Appellee will abstain from filing any further response unless this Court determines that Appellant’s appeal is not frivolous and orders Appellee to respond to this matter. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.
