Israel Hill v. State

                                                             11th Court of Appeals

                                                                  Eastland, Texas

                                                                        Opinion

 

Israel Hill

Appellant

Vs.                   No. 11-05-00250-CR -- Appeal from Dallas County

State of Texas

Appellee

 

The trial court convicted Israel Hill, upon his plea of guilty, of aggravated assault.  A plea bargain agreement was not reached.  The trial court assessed punishment at confinement for 20 years.  We affirm.

Appellant=s court-appointed counsel has filed a motion to withdraw.  The motion is supported by a brief in which counsel professionally and conscientiously examines the record and applicable law and states that he has concluded that the appeal is frivolous.  Counsel has provided appellant with a copy of the brief and advised appellant of his right to review the record and file a response to counsel=s brief.  A response has not been filed.  Court-appointed counsel has complied with the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex.Cr.App.1991); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Cr.App.1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex.Cr.App.1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Cr.App.1969); Eaden v. State, 161 S.W.3d 173 (Tex.App. - Eastland 2005, no pet=n).

Following the procedures outlined in Anders, we have independently reviewed the record, and we agree that the appeal is without merit.

The motion to withdraw is granted, and the judgment is affirmed.
