KENDRICK D. LATTIMORE, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 338th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 869366




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Kendrick D. Lattimore, pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery without a plea bargain agreement, and the trial court assessed punishment at nine years' confinement. We affirm the judgment, as modified.

Appellant's court-appointed counsel filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a brief concluding that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds of error to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Moore v. State, 845 S.W.2d 352, 353 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, pet. ref'd).

The brief states that a copy was delivered to appellant, whom counsel advised by letter of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). More than 30 days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief. We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel's brief. We find no reversible error in the record, and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous.

However, we do find nonreversible error in the judgment: it reads that appellant was convicted of aggravated assault. We may correct and modify the judgment of a trial court to make the record speak the truth when we have the necessary data and information to do so, or to make any appropriate order as the law and nature of the case may require. See Campbell v. State, 900 S.W.2d 763, 773 (Tex. App.--Waco 1995, no pet.); Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(b), 43.6. Accordingly, we modify the trial court's judgment to read that appellant was convicted of the offense of aggravated robbery.

We affirm the judgment, as modified.

We grant counsel's motion to withdraw from the case. (1) See Stephens v. State, 35 S.W.3d 770, 771 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2000, no pet.).

PER CURIAM
