McKINZIE BOWIE, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 435th District Court Montgomery County, Texas
Trial Cause Nos. 18-05-06356-CR; 18-05-06357-CR; 18-05-06358-CR
MEMORANDUM OPINION
A grand jury indicted McKinzie Bowie for the first-degree felony offense of aggravated robbery and the state jail felony offenses of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and fraudulent possession of identifying information. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. §§ 29.03(a)(2), 31.07, 32.51. Pursuant to an open plea agreement, Bowie pled guilty to the three offenses. The trial court sentenced him to forty years of confinement for the aggravated robbery and one year of confinement for each of the other offenses, to run concurrently. See id. §§ 12.32(a), 12.35(a). The trial court certified Bowie's right to appeal in each cause, and he timely appealed.
Bowie's appellate counsel presented a professional evaluation of the records in all three causes and concluded there were no meritorious issues for appeal. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Bowie did not file a pro se brief. We have independently reviewed the records in their entirety. Based on our review of the records, we conclude no arguable issues exist to support an appeal in these causes, and there is no reversible error. Therefore, we find it unnecessary to appoint new counsel to re-brief the appeals. Cf. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 511 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).
AFFIRMED.
