Adam McGuire v. State

Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-05-00436-CR

Adam McGuire, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 403RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. D-1-DC-05-904028, HONORABLE BRENDA KENNEDY, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Adam McGuire pleaded guilty and judicially confessed to murder, a lesser included offense of the capital murder alleged in the indictment. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 19.02 (West 2003). The court adjudged him guilty and, after hearing evidence, sentenced him to forty-five years’ imprisonment.

McGuire’s court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief, together with the supplemental letter brief submitted by counsel at the Court’s request, 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). McGuire also filed a pro se brief.

We have reviewed the record, counsel’s brief and supplemental brief, and the pro se brief. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.1
