Brian Loredo v. State

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-97-00075-CR


Brian Loredo, Appellant


v.



The State of Texas, Appellee






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 44,711, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING


PER CURIAM

Appellant pleaded guilty to an indictment accusing him of aggravated robbery. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 29.03 (West 1994). After accepting the plea and finding that the evidence substantiated appellant's guilt, the district court deferred further proceedings and placed appellant on community supervision for ten years. The State later filed a motion to revoke alleging numerous violations of appellant's supervisory conditions. Appellant pleaded true to most of these allegations. The district court revoked supervision, adjudicated appellant guilty, and sentenced him to imprisonment for fifteen years.

Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by advancing a contention which counsel says might arguably support the appeal. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant, and appellant was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.

We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The arguable point of error, that trial counsel was ineffective, is clearly unsustainable on this record.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
