ANTHONY WAYNE TYSON,§ APPEAL FROM THE FOURTH

APPELLANT

V.§ CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT OF

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

APPELLEE§ DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS

PER CURIAM

Anthony Wayne Tyson ("Appellant") appeals his convictions on four separate offenses of aggravated robbery. Appellant was sentenced to imprisonment for thirty years in each cause. Appellant's counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). We affirm.

Background

Appellant was charged by indictment in four separate causes with aggravated robbery. ⁽¹⁾ Appellant waived his right to a jury and pleaded guilty in all four cases. The trial court sentenced Appellant to imprisonment for thirty years in each cause. The judgments were entered on November 8, 2001, and Appellant timely filed this appeal.

Analysis Pursuant to Anders v. California

Appellant's counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969), stating that he has diligently reviewed the appellate record and is of the opinion that the record reflects no reversible error and that there is no error upon which an appeal can be predicated. He further relates that he is well acquainted with the facts in this case. In compliance with Anders, Gainous, and High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978), Appellant's brief presents a chronological summation of the procedural history of the case, and further states that Appellant's counsel is unable to raise any arguable issues for appeal. ⁽²⁾ We have likewise reviewed the record for reversible error and have found none.

As required by Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991), Appellant's counsel has moved for leave to withdraw. We carried the motion for consideration with the merits of the appeal. Having done so and finding no reversible error, Appellant's counsel's motion for leave to withdraw is hereby granted and the trial court's judgments are affirmed.

Opinion delivered December 12, 2002.

Panel consisted of Gohmert, Jr., C.J., Worthen, J., and Griffith, J.
