withdraw and enclose copies of the documents,
(2) inform Appellant of his right to review the appellate record and file a pro
se brief,
(3) inform Appellant of his right to file a pro se petition for discretionary
review should the court of appeals determine the appeal is frivolous, and
(4) “take concrete measures to initiate and facilitate the process of actuating
[appellant’s] right to review the appellate record, if that is what [appellant]
wishes.” Id.
