Kyle Ramirez v. the State of Texas
Opinion
In The Court of Appeals Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo No. 07-24-00158-CR
KYLE RAMIREZ, APPELLANT V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE On Appeal from the 100th District Court Collingsworth County, Texas Trial Court No. 3094, Honorable Dale A. Rabe, Jr., Presiding January 23, 2025 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before PARKER and DOSS and YARBROUGH, JJ.
Appellant, Kyle Ramirez, appeals from the trial court’s judgment adjudicating guilt and convicting him of sexually assaulting M.P., a child under the age of seventeen years old. 1 In 2021, Appellant was indicted. In February 2022, he pleaded guilty; pursuant to the terms of a plea bargain, Appellant received five years of deferred adjudication
Appellant pleaded “true” to the State’s allegations that he failed to: (1) abstain from the use or consumption of alcoholic beverages or controlled substances; (2) report to his Community Supervision Officer each month; (3) follow additional conditions imposed when a person transfers to another jurisdiction inside Texas; (4) failed to pay court-ordered fees as directed; (5) complete community service as directed; (6) submit to drug/alcohol testing and participate in and successfully complete related services; (7) submit to a sex offender evaluation, and successfully complete psychological treatment and counseling for sex offenders; and (8) pay a monthly sex offender fee. 2 The trial court sentenced him to fifteen years of confinement. 3
Appellant timely brought this appeal. His court-appointed appellate counsel filed an Anders brief in support of a motion to withdraw. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744-45, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 (1967). We grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
Appellant’s counsel has certified that after diligently searching the record, he has conducted a conscientious examination of the record and, in his opinion, the record
Pedraza v. State, 69 S.W.3d 220, 223 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2001, no pet.) (“A defendant placed on deferred adjudication community supervision may file a motion for new trial after the revocation of his deferred adjudication community supervision, and if a new trial is granted the conviction itself will be undone.”). During a hearing on April 2024, Appellant pleaded “true” to the State’s allegations one through eight and was adjudicated guilty. reflects no reversible error upon which an appeal can be predicated. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744-45; In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 406 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008). Appellant’s counsel provided him with a copy of his Anders brief, motion to withdraw, and appellate record. He also notified Appellant of his right to file a pro se response in addition to informing him of his right to file a pro se petition for discretionary review. See In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 408. By letter dated September 27, 2024, this Court also advised Appellant of his right to file a pro se response to counsel’s Anders brief and granted Appellant until October 28, 2024, to file such a response. To date, Appellant has not filed a response.
We have carefully reviewed counsel’s Anders brief and conducted an independent review of the record to determine whether there are any nonfrivolous issues that were preserved in the trial court which might support an appeal. Like counsel, we conclude there are no plausible grounds for appellate review. See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S. Ct. 346, 102 L. Ed. 2d 300 (1988); In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 409; Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137, 138 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). Therefore, we grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm the trial court’s judgment. 4
Conclusion
The trial court’s judgment is affirmed.
