In The
Court of Appeals
Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-14-00380-CR
ROBERT DALE KNOOP, JR., APPELLANT
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
On Appeal from the 31st District Court
Hemphill County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2506, Honorable Steven Ray Emmert, Presiding
October 21, 2014
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Appellant, Robert Dale Knoop, Jr., pled guilty to and was convicted of the offense
of driving while intoxicated. On January 24, 2002, appellant was sentenced to
incarceration in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division, for a
period of fifteen years, and a $500 fine. Appellant timely filed a notice of appeal of this
conviction and was appointed counsel. After appointed counsel filed a motion to
withdraw supported by an Anders brief, see Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744-45,
87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), this Court independently examined the record
and, agreeing with counsel’s assessment that there were no arguable grounds that
might support the appeal, granted counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirmed the trial
court’s judgment. See Knoop v. State, No. 07-02-00199-CR, 2002 Tex. App. LEXIS
8037, at *2 (Tex. App.—Amarillo Nov. 8, 2002, pet. ref’d). Following refusal of
appellant’s petition for discretionary review by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals,
mandate was issued on May 7, 2003. This Court’s plenary power expired 60 days after
judgment. TEX. R. APP. P. 19.1(a).
On October 13, 2014, appellant filed a notice of appeal referencing the above-
identified trial court cause number. However, because this Court issued mandate in the
appeal from that cause more than eleven years ago, this Court does not have
jurisdiction over appellant’s attempted appeal. Because this Court is without plenary
power over this appeal, no further action may be taken by this Court in this proceeding
and the appeal is hereby dismissed.
