STATE'S REPLY TO APPELLANT'S TENTFJ TI-IJ(UUGf-1
THIRTY -FOUR'l'H POINTS OF EF!__ROR:
ln~ffectivc assistance
Appellant makes several allegations of ineffective assistance. They are all
meritless first because they are based on unsupported factual assertions which are outside
the record. See Franklin v. State, 693 s.-W.2d 420, 431 (Tex. Crim. App. J 9R5), cert.
denied, 4 75 U.S. 1031 ( 1986 ); see also Ex parte Preston, 833 S.W .2d 515, 519 (Tex.
Crim. App. 1992) (statements and assertions contained in an appellate brief cannot he
accepted as fact).
Second, Appellant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel must be rejected
because he has failed to bring forward a record supporting his claim. See Thompson v.
~tate, ":J ~.\iv.3d isuis, 81.3-14 (Tex. Crirn. App. 1999). T!tc lcL;i.JlU is si:cni. as l.u Gvunse:'s
record showing counsel's explanations for Appellant's present accusations, Appellant has
failed to overcome the presumption that the challenged actions constituted sound trial
strategy andhis claims must fail. See Bone v. State, 77 S.W.3d 828, 836 (Tex. Crim.
App. 2002); Thompson, 9 S.W.3d at 813-14.
Third, some of Appellant's claims of poor strategy are based on his already-
discredited legal theory that indecency with a child is not a reportable conviction.
Contrary to Appellant's view, it would probably have been unprofessional for any
licensed attomey to proceed to defend Appellant based on this strategy.
