11th Court of Appeals
Eastland, Texas
Opinion
Dale Wade Christianson
Appellant
Vs. No. 11-04-00261-CR -- Appeal from Erath County
State of Texas
Appellee
The jury convicted Dale Wade Christianson of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and assessed his 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 she 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. Appellant has not filed a pro se response. 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, No. 11-03-00405-CR, 2005 WL 309558 (Tex.App. - Eastland, February 10, 2005, no pet’n) (not yet reported).
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 appellant’s videotaped confession was admitted into evidence and played for the jury.
The motion to withdraw is granted, and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
