Marlon Keith Williams v. State
Marlon Keith Williams v. State
Opinion
After accepting appellant's guilty plea and judicial confession, the district court found him guilty of violating a protective order. Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 25.07 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, the court assessed punishment at incarceration in the county jail for one year. Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 12.44 (West Supp. 1998).
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 presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. 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. Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
