Letter sent to Pro Bono Committee Liaison stating: "The Court previously referred this matter to the State Bar of Texas Appellate Section’s Pro Bono Committee and was notified that Respondent indicated he does not meet the Program’s eligibility requirements. The Court has now set this case for oral argument on February 21, 2024, and is supplementing its referral to request that the Pro Bono Committee attempt to locate a volunteer lawyer to serve as an Amicus Attorney for the purpose of defending the court of appeals’ judgment. The attorney’s duties would consist of submitting supplemental briefing if the attorney deems it appropriate and participating in oral argument. Please inform us when you are able to locate an attorney to serve in this role, at which point we will issue an order appointing the attorney and setting supplemental briefing deadlines. Please update us accordingly if you are unable to locate a suitable volunteer within 14 days of receipt of this letter."
