Leonard Nelson v. State

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-97-00800-CR


Leonard Nelson, Appellant

v.



The State of Texas, Appellee






FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 6 OF TRAVIS COUNTY

NO. 488773, HONORABLE DAVID CRAIN, JUDGE PRESIDING


PER CURIAM

The county court at law found appellant guilty of criminal mischief. After assessing punishment at incarceration for 180 days and a $3000 fine, the court suspended imposition of sentence and placed appellant on community supervision.

The attorney appointed to represent appellant at trial has informed the Court that she has been unable to contact appellant since his conviction. Appellant did not appear at the hearing ordered by this Court to determine if appellant is presently indigent. In the absence of evidence of indigence, the trial court found that appellant is not entitled to appointed counsel on appeal (and implicitly that appellant is not entitled to a free reporter's record).

We will consider the appeal without a reporter's record and without brief. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.3(c)(1), 38.8(b)(4). We have examined the clerk's record and find no error or other matter that should be considered in the interest of justice.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
