LATOYA DENISE MCMULLEN, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F14-24837-U, F14-24545-U
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Stoddart, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Francis
Latoya Denise McMullen appeals her convictions for repeated violation of a protective
order and stalking. The trial court assessed punishment, following the adjudication of her guilt,
at imprisonment for five years in each case. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in
which he concludes the appeals are 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 her right to file a pro se response, but she
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 appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably
support the appeals.
Although not an arguable issue, we note the trial court’s judgments adjudicating guilt
incorrectly reflect there were plea bargain agreements and that appellant pleaded true to the
allegations in each of the motions to adjudicate. The record shows appellant entered a plea of
not true to the allegations in the motions to adjudicate and there were no plea agreements as to
punishment. Accordingly, on our own motion, we modify the section of the judgments entitled
“terms of plea bargain” to state “N/A,” and the section entitled “plea to motion to adjudicate” to
state “not true.” 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 judgments adjudicating guilt.
