James Wilson Davis, Jr. v. State

Opinion issued November 1, 2007 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ____________ NO. 01-06-00023-CR ____________ JAMES WILSON DAVIS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 337th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1023994 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant, James Wilson Davis, was convicted by a jury of murder, and the jury assessed his punishment at confinement for 30 years. We affirm. Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a brief concluding that this appeal is without merit. Counsel’s 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 that demonstrates the lack of arguable grounds of error. 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). Counsel represents that she has served a copy of the brief on appellant. Counsel also advised appellant 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. Having reviewed the record and counsel’s brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit and that there is no reversible error. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27(Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We affirm the judgment of the trial court and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Nuchia, Hanks, and Bland. Do not publish. Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
