Re: Docketing Statement for Appeal of Cause Number 13F0528-102, The State of Texas vs. Lorenzo Rena Martinez Dear Ms. Autrey: Attached via internet filing you will find the above-referenced Docketing Statement for filing with your office. I have not received an Appellate Docket Number. Therefore, I left it blank. Please note that I have filed with the trial court a Motion to Certify Inability to Pay with Exhibit 1: Affidavit of Indigency. In this Motion, I have requested a hearing, if necessary. Therefore, in the attached Docketing Statement, I did not check that a hearing has occurred.
I went ahead and filed the Docketing Statement with information potentially left out as a matter of prudence and in an effort to comply with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 20.2 and 32.2. Tex. Rul. App. Proc. 32.2 states that “[u]pon perfecting the appeal in a criminal case”. It could be argued that a criminal appeal is “perfected” when a Notice of Appeal is filed with the trial court, which was filed on December 8, 2015.
If there is a hearing, I will file an updated Docketing Statement. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, Jonathan Randle Smolarz Attorney at Law TSB#: 24081154 602 Pine Street Texarkana, TX 75501 jrsmolarz@gmail.com
