RANDOLF SAMUEL FRANKLIN, II, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 264th Judicial District Court
Bell County, Texas
Trial Court No. 67603
Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Randolf Samuel Franklin, II,[1] appeals from his conviction on a charge of burglary of a habitation, resulting in a twenty-year sentence of imprisonment. In a companion case, Franklin also appealed from a conviction for theft from a person. He has filed a single brief, in which he raises an issue common to both of his appeals. Franklin argues that the trial court erred in refusing to allow his court-appointed attorney to withdraw on the day of trial, rendering his plea involuntary.
We addressed this issue in detail in our opinion of this date on Franklin’s appeal in cause number 06-11-00141-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that error has not been shown in this case.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
Josh R. Morriss, III
Chief Justice
