TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-12-00104-CR
Edward Lamoyne King, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 26TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 10-1235-K26, HONORABLE BILLY RAY STUBBLEFIELD, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
A jury found appellant Edward Lamoyne King guilty of aggravated assault with
a deadly weapon. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.02(a)(2) (West 2011). After finding that
appellant had at least two previous felony convictions, the jury assessed punishment at thirty-five
years’ imprisonment. See id. § 12.42(d) (West 2011) (enhancing punishment to life or no less than
twenty-five years’ imprisonment for felony conviction where defendant has previously been
convicted of two sequential felonies).
Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw supported by
a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements
of Anders v. California by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why
there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967);
Garner v. State, 300 S.W.3d 763, 766 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009); see also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75,
86–87 (1988).
Appellant received a copy of counsel’s brief and was advised of his right to examine
the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Garner, 300 S.W.3d
at 766. We have not received a pro se brief from appellant.
We have conducted an independent review of the record, including appellate
counsel’s brief, and find no reversible error. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Garner, 300 S.W.3d
at 766; Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We agree with counsel
that the record presents no arguably meritorious grounds for review and the appeal is frivolous.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
