ERIC VONCHARLES MOSBY, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 203rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F14-75538-P
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Evans, and Brown
Opinion by Justice Brown
Eric Voncharles Mosby waived a jury and pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.02(a) (West 2011). After finding appellant
guilty, the trial court assessed punishment at twenty years’ imprisonment. On appeal, appellant’s
attorney filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.
The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief
presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable
grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–12 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.]
1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to
file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313,
319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in Anders
cases).
We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824,
826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We agree
the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably
support the appeal.
Although not an arguable issue, we note the trial court’s judgment incorrectly reflects
there was a plea bargain agreement. The record reflects appellant entered an open plea of guilty
to the charges in the indictment. Accordingly, on our own motion, we modify the section of the
judgment entitled “terms of plea bargain” to state “open.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(b); Bigley
v. State, 865 S.W.2d 26, 27–28 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993); Asberry v. State, 813 S.W.2d 526, 529–
30 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1991, pet. ref'd).
As modified, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
