BRUCE DEWAYNE DIAL, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Orange County, Texas
Trial Cause Nos. A-010258-R and A-010259-R
Bruce Dewayne Dial entered guilty pleas in Cause Nos. A-010258-R and A-010259-R to having committed the state jail felony offense of burglary of a building with intent to commit theft. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 30.02 (a),(c)(1) (Vernon Supp. 2002). Dial persisted in his guilty pleas after the trial court rejected the plea bargain agreements. The trial court assessed punishment in each case at two years of confinement in a state jail facility.
Appellate counsel filed a brief that concludes 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 March 28, 2002, we granted Dial 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 appellant was duly admonished of the punishment range for the offenses and the effect of his guilty pleas. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 26.13 (Vernon 1989 & Supp. 2002). Dial signed judicial confessions and admitted his guilt in open court. He does not contest the voluntariness of his guilty pleas.
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. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). The judgments are affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
