In The
Court of Appeals
Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-15-00338-CR
VERNON CHRIS SHELTON, APPELLANT
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE
On Appeal from the 46th District Court
Hardeman County, Texas
Trial Court No. 4272, Honorable Dan Mike Bird, Presiding
October 21, 2015
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Appellant, Vernon Chris Shelton, appealed four convictions for the offense of
aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Appellant was sentenced to confinement in
the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for a term of 15
years for Count I; 5 years for Count II; 5 years for Count III; and 5 years for Count IV.
The terms of confinement for Counts II, III, and IV were suspended, and appellant was
placed on community supervision for a term of 5 years. Each of the sentences will run
concurrently. On October 13, 2015, appellant’s counsel filed a Motion to Dismiss
Appeal.
Because the motion meets the requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 42.2(a), and this Court has not delivered its decision prior to receiving it, the
motion is hereby granted and the appeal is dismissed. Having dismissed the appeal at
appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained and our mandate will
issue forthwith.
