MODIFY and AFFIRM; and Opinion filed October 29, 2015.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-00229-CR
KENDRICK MICHAEL DAVIS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-57251-J
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Brown, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Schenck
Kendrick Michael Davis waived a jury and pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine in an
amount of one gram or more but less than four grams. See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN.
§ 481.115(a), (c) (West 2010). The trial court assessed punishment at four years’ imprisonment.
On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which she 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 has advised us that he has delivered a copy of the brief
to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he has not filed any
such 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, when, in fact, appellant entered an open guilty plea.
Accordingly, 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.
