MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Myers, Osborne, and Carlyle
Opinion by Justice Myers
Appellant Irvin Vladimi Campos-Hernandez was indicted for aggravated robbery. Following a jury trial, he was found guilty of the offense. The jury assessed punishment at five years in prison and a $1,500 fine.
Appellant's counsel has filed a motion to withdraw. The motion is supported by a brief in which counsel professionally and conscientiously examines the record and applicable law and concludes this appeal is frivolous and without merit.
Counsel certifies that he provided appellant with a copy of the brief and the motion to withdraw. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812-13 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978) (determining whether brief meets requirements of Anders); see also Arevalos v. State, 606 S.W.3d 912, 915-16 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2020, no pet.) (citing High and concluding Anders brief in support of motion to withdraw did not meet requirements of Anders and was deficient as to form). We advised appellant by letter of his right to file a pro se response, but he has not filed a pro se response. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319-21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (appellant has right to file pro se response to Anders brief filed by counsel).
We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court's duty in Anders cases). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit, and we find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.
Although not arguable issues, we note two clerical errors in the judgment. First, the judgment states that the "Attorney for State" was "ELMAZI VERIME 24042652" when the record and counsel's Anders brief show Chalana Oliver, State Bar of Texas (SBOT) number 24103139 and Thomas Adams, SBOT number 24073824, represented the State. The record does not indicate Elmazi Verime represented the State in any capacity. Second, the judgment cites the statutory basis for the deadly weapon finding as "Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Art. 42.12 § 3g." Article 42.12 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure was repealed and replaced with Chapter 42A, effective January 1, 2017. See, e.g., Wright v. State, No. 05-19-00112-CR, 2019 WL 6124737, at *2 (Tex. App.—Dallas Nov. 19, 2019, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication); Caballero v. State, No. 05-18-01338-CR, 2019 WL 5112270, at *1 (Tex. App.—Dallas Oct. 10, 2019, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication); Tarver v. State, No. 05-18-00589-CR, 2019 WL 1785342, at *2 (Tex. App.—Dallas April 24, 2019, no pet.) (mem. op. not designated for publication).
The statute relevant to the trial court's entry of an affirmative deadly weapon finding is now codified in article 42A.054(c). See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 42A.054(c). The indictment alleges the offense was committed on or about December 5, 2018, and the judgment was entered on November 8, 2019. Hence, article 42A.054(c) is the applicable statute. See, e.g., Wright, 2019 WL 6124737, at *2 (modifying judgment to reflect correct statutory basis to support deadly weapon finding as article 42A.054(c)).
When the record provides the necessary information to correct inaccuracies in the trial court's judgment, we have the authority to reform the judgment to speak the truth. TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(b); Bigley v. State, 865 S.W.2d 26, 27-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993); Asberry v. State, 813 S.W.2d 526, 529-30 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1991, pet. ref'd). Accordingly, we sua sponte modify the judgment to reflect that the attorneys for the State were "CHALANA OLIVER 24103139" and "THOMAS ADAMS 24073824." Additionally, because the citation to Article 42.12 § 3g in the judgment is a clerical error and not an error of judicial reasoning, we further modify the judgment to reflect that the statutory basis for the affirmative deadly weapon finding is "Tex. Code Crim. Proc. 42A.054(c)."
We grant counsel's motion to withdraw and, as modified, affirm the judgment.
