Timothy Andrew Price, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
Appellant Timothy Andrew Price pleaded guilty before a jury to intoxication assault. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 49.07(a)(1) (West Supp.2009). After receiving evidence, the jury assessed appellant's punishment at eight years' imprisonment.
Appellant's court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw supported by a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (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). Appellant received a copy of counsel's brief and was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744. No pro se brief has been filed.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. See Garner v. State, No. PD-0904-07, 2009 Tex.Crim.App. LEXIS 1739, at *8 (Tex.Crim.App. Dec. 9, 2009); Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex.Crim.App.2005). We agree with counsel that the appeal is frivolous. Counsel's motion to withdraw is granted.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
Jan P. Patterson, Justice
