TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-14-00379-CR
William Everette Razor, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 70483, THE HONORABLE JOHN GAUNTT, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
A jury convicted appellant William Everette Razor of aggravated assault causing
serious bodily injury, see Tex. Penal Code § 22.01(a)(1), and assessed his punishment at confinement
in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for 13 years, see id. § 12.33. 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, 81–82 (1988).
Appellant’s counsel has certified to this Court that he sent copies of the motion and
brief to appellant, advised appellant of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se
response, and provided a motion to assist appellant in obtaining the record. See Kelly v. State,
436 S.W.3d 313, 319–20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); see also Anders, 386 U.S. at 744. To date,
appellant has not filed a pro se response or requested an extension of time to file a response.
We have conducted an independent review of the record 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.
