DEIRAL GREGORY MOORE, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause Nos. 79631, 82766 and 83801
Deiral Gregory Moore entered a guilty plea in Cause No. 79631 to an indictment for the first degree felony offense of aggravated sexual assault on a child. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.021 (Vernon Supp. 2002). Following a plea bargain agreement between Moore and the State, the trial court deferred adjudication of guilt, and on June 5, 2000, placed Moore on community supervision for ten years.
On December 1, 2000, Moore entered a guilty plea in Cause No. 82766 to an indictment for the third degree felony offense of failure to register as a sex offender. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. arts. 62.06(a), 62.10(b)(2) (Vernon Supp. 2002). Following a plea bargain agreement between Moore and the State, the trial court deferred adjudication of guilt, and on December 8, 2000, placed Moore on community supervision for ten years. In a subsequent hearing, the trial court found that Moore violated the terms of the community supervision orders, as alleged in the State's motions to adjudicate guilt. The trial court assessed punishment at confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division, for forty years in Cause No. 79631 and for ten years in Cause No. 82766.
On the day Moore pleaded "true" in Cause Nos. 79631 and 82766, Moore pleaded guilty in Cause No. 83801 to an indictment for failure to register as a sex offender. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 62.10 (Vernon Supp. 2002). Following a plea bargain agreement between Moore and the State, the trial court convicted Moore and assessed punishment at twenty years of confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. The trial court ordered the sentences to be served concurrently.
Appellate counsel filed briefs that conclude no arguable error is presented in these appeals. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967), and High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). On June 27, 2002, we granted Moore an extension of time in which to file a pro se brief. We received no response from the appellant. Because the appeals involve the application of well-settled principles of law, we deliver this memorandum opinion. See Tex. R. App. P. 47.1.
The notices of appeal filed by Moore failed to invoke our appellate jurisdiction to review issues relating to his convictions. White v. State, 61 S.W.3d 424, 428-29 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). (1) Although a general notice of appeal invokes our jurisdiction to consider issues relating to the process by which Moore was punished in Cause Nos. 79631 and 82766, no error relating to punishment was preserved. Vidaurri v. State, 49 S.W.3d 880, 883-85 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001).
We have reviewed the clerk's records and the reporter's records, and find no arguable error requiring us to order appointment of new counsel. Compare Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).
The judgments in Appeal Nos. 09-01-291 CR and 09-01-292 CR are AFFIRMED. Appeal No. 09-01-293 CR is DISMISSED.
