Antwan Thomas v. State

11th Court of Appeals

Eastland, Texas

Opinion

 

Antwan Thomas

            Appellant

Vs.                  No. 11-03-00194-CR -- Appeal from Grimes County

State of Texas

            Appellee

 

            The jury convicted Antwan Thomas of aggravated robbery, and the trial court assessed his punishment at confinement for 30 years. We modify and 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. 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).

            Appellant has filed a response contending that the “[p]rosecutor abused its discretion by entering insufficient evidence,” that the trial court erred “in overruling appellant’s objection to hearsay testimony pertaining to insufficient evidence,” and that he has been denied effective assistance of counsel both at trial and on appeal. The record before this court does not support appellant’s arguments.

            Following the procedures outlined in Anders, we have independently reviewed the record, and we agree that the appeal is without merit. The record reflects that the victim identified appellant as the man who robbed him at gunpoint.

 

            The motion to withdraw is granted. The judgment of the trial court is modified to reflect that the trial court assessed punishment. As modified, the judgment is affirmed.
