Andre Dwayne Edmond v. State

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-02-00504-CR


Andre Dwayne Edmond, Appellant

v.



The State of Texas, Appellee








FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 52600, HONORABLE JOE CARROLL, JUDGE PRESIDING


M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Appellant Andre Dwayne Edmond was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision after he pleaded no contest to attempted aggravated sexual assault. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. §§ 15.01, 22.021 (West 2003). Later, after he pleaded true to allegations in the State's motion to adjudicate, the district court adjudged him guilty and imposed an eight-year prison sentence.

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. Counsel's motion to withdraw is granted.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
