Mark Victor Dheil v. State

In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-14-00201-CR MARK VICTOR DHEIL, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 4th District Court Rusk County, Texas Trial Court No. CR14-089 Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley MEMORANDUM OPINION In the hopes of receiving community supervision, Mark Victor Dheil entered an open plea of guilty to the offense of driving while intoxicated, third or more. After receiving his oral and written judicial confession to the crime, the trial court sentenced Dheil to four years’ imprisonment. Dheil appeals. On appeal, Dheil’s attorney has filed a brief which discusses the record and reviews the proceedings in detail. Meeting the requirements of Anders v. California, counsel has provided a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 743–44 (1967); In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 406 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (orig. proceeding); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 509–10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1981); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812–13 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel also filed a motion with this Court seeking to withdraw as counsel in this appeal. On January 26, 2015, counsel mailed to Dheil a copy of (1) the brief, (2) the clerk’s record, (3) the reporter’s record, and (4) the motion to withdraw. By letter, counsel informed Dheil of his right to review the record and file a pro se response. Counsel’s letter informed Dheil that he had thirty days in which to file his pro se response. To date, Dheil has neither filed a pro se response nor requested an extension of time in which to do so. We have determined that this appeal is wholly frivolous. We have independently reviewed the clerk’s record and the reporter’s record, and we agree that no arguable issues support an appeal. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). 2 We affirm the trial court’s judgment.1 Bailey C. Moseley Justice Date Submitted: March 30, 2015 Date Decided: April 8, 2015 Do Not Publish 1 Since we agree this case presents no reversible error, we also, in accord with Anders, grant counsel’s request to withdraw from further representation of appellant in this case.
