Charles Edward Patterson v. State of Texas

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-99-00677-CR


Charles Edward Patterson, Appellant

v.



The State of Texas, Appellee






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF HARRIS COUNTY, 262ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 808176, HONORABLE MIKE S. ANDERSON, JUDGE PRESIDING


Appellant Charles Edward Patterson pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. The district court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for four years. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.02 (West 1994).

Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant, and appellant was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.

We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
