CAROLYN GULLEY BOLTS, Appellant


v.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 177th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1115954



 

 

 

 

 

 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Appellant, Carolyn Gulley Bolts, pleaded guilty on August 13, 2007, to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.02(a)(2). Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial court sentenced her to four years’ deferred adjudication.

          On August 18, 2008, the State filed a motion to adjudicate appellant’s guilt. As part of another plea agreement with the State, appellant pleaded true to three alleged violations of her deferred adjudication. The trial court adjudicated appellant’s guilt on both counts and sentenced her to four years’ imprisonment.

          Appellant’s counsel on appeal has filed a brief stating that the record presents no reversible error, that the appeal is without merit and frivolous, and that the appeal must be dismissed or affirmed. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967). The brief meets the requirements of Anders by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and detailing why there are no arguable grounds for reversal. Id. at 744, 87 S. Ct. at 1400; see also High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 810 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

          Counsel represents that she has served a copy of the brief on appellant. Appellant has filed a pro se response. Having reviewed the record and the briefs, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit and that there is no reversible error. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27(Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

          We affirm the judgment of the trial court and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. Attorney Yalila Guerrero must immediately send the notice required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.5(c) and file a copy of that notice with the Clerk of this Court.
