Jason Ray Tubbs v. State
Jason Ray Tubbs v. State
Opinion
Jason Ray Tubbs entered a non-negotiated guilty plea to an indictment for the state jail felony offense of evading arrest. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 38.04(a),(b)(1) (Vernon 2003). The trial court convicted Tubbs and sentenced him to two years of confinement in a state jail facility. The trial court certified that this is not a plea-bargain case and that the defendant has the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
Appellate counsel filed a brief that concludes no arguable error is presented in this appeal. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). On June 8, 2006, Tubbs was given an extension of time in which to file a pro se brief. We received no response from the appellant. As there was no plea bargain agreement, we have jurisdiction over the appeal. Jack v. State, 871 S.W.2d 741 (Tex. Crim. App. 1994). The required admonishments appear in the record. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 26.13 (Vernon Supp. 2006). Tubbs signed a judicial confession. He has not contested the voluntariness of his guilty plea.
We have reviewed the clerk's and the reporter's records, and find no arguable error requiring us to order appointment of new counsel. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). The trial court's judgment is affirmed. (1)
AFFIRMED.
