Re: Julio Alejandro Zuniga v. The State of Texas

Appeal No. 04-15-00245-CR

Trial Court Case No. 2014CR0936

RESPONSE TO SHOW CAUSE ORDER

Dear Mr. Hottle:

On May 18, 2015, the Court ordered Appellant to show cause in writing why this appeal

should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. This letter is Appellant’s response to

that order.

This appeal should not be dismissed.

On October 14, 2014, Appellant was sentenced by the trial court in case number

2014CR0936. The trial court certified that Appellant has the right of appeal. No notice of

appeal or motion for new trial was filed within 30 days of sentencing.

Appellant filed a writ under case number 2014CR0936-W1 seeking the right to file an

out-of-time notice of appeal in case number 2014CR0936. He was successful. The Court

of Criminal Appeals granted relief and directed Appellant to file his notice of appeal with

the trial court clerk by May 1, 2015.

On April 20, 2015, Appellant timely filed his pro se notice of appeal in case 2014CR0936

(the underlying criminal case). This court assigned Case No. 04-15-00245-CR to the

appeal. The undersigned filed the designation of the record and request for the

reporter’s record with the clerk of the trial court on April 17, 2015. The clerk’s record

was filed with this Court on April 28, 2015. The undersigned filed his docketing

statement on May 1, 2015.

The Appellant, through undersigned counsel, intends to proceed with this appeal. It

should NOT be dismissed .

Sincerely,

/s/ Richard B. Dulany, Jr.
