Teddy Underwood v. State

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-03-00623-CR Teddy Underwood, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF HAYS COUNTY NO. 71302, HONORABLE LINDA A. RODRIGUEZ, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION At a bench trial, appellant Teddy Underwood was convicted of assault with family violence and sentenced to 180 days in jail and a $500 fine. His 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 he 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. __________________________________________ Mack Kidd, Justice Before Justices Kidd, B. A. Smith and Pemberton Affirmed Filed: June 24, 2004 Do Not Publish 2
