Shelton Timmons v. State ( 2005 )

  •       TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
    NO. 03-05-00013-CR
    Shelton Timmons, Appellant
    v.
    The State of Texas, Appellee
    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
    NO. 51329, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING
    MEMORANDUM OPINION
    Appellant Shelton Timmons was placed on deferred adjudication supervision after
    he pleaded guilty to indecency with a child by contact. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 21.11 (West
    2003). He was adjudged guilty by the court following a hearing on the State’s motion to adjudicate
    and sentenced to twelve years’ imprisonment.
    Timmons’s court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is
    frivolous and without merit. The brief 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). Timmons 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. No pro se brief has been filed.
    We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous
    and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. Counsel’s
    motion to withdraw is granted.
    The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
