December 19, 2017 Isaiah R. Williams Tarrant County Jail #0883329 N. Lamar Fort Worth, TX 76196 RE: Court of Appeals Number: 02-17-00204-CR 02-17-00205-CR Trial Court Case Number: 1451790D 1452066D Style: Isaiah R. Williams v. The State of Texas

Dear Mr. Williams: On November 20, 2017, your attorney, John W. Stickels, filed a motion to withdraw as attorney on appeal and a brief supporting that motion in the above cause. In these documents, your attorney has certified that in his opinion any appeal of your conviction would be wholly frivolous and without merit. In a letter to this court received November 27, 2017, you indicated that you wish to continue this appeal pro se. This letter is to inform you of the date by which your pro se response to the Anders brief must be filed.

Your pro se response to the Anders brief in the above styled cause must be filed on or before Tuesday, February 20, 2018. If you do not file your brief on or before Tuesday, February 20, 2018, this court will assume that you do not intend to file a brief. The State will then have 30 days to respond. Once the State files its brief, if any, we will consider your appeal.
