TIMOTHY LEE ROBINSON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


AFFIRM as modified;

On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. F10-72541-U, F10-71461-U

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Morris, Francis, and Murphy

Opinion By Justice Morris

In the trial court, Timothy Lee Robinson waived a jury and pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child younger than fourteen years and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a motor vehicle. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. §§ 22.02(a), 22.021(a)(1)(B)(i) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at fifty years' imprisonment and a $3,000 fine on the aggravated sexual assault of a child conviction and twenty years' imprisonment and a $3,000 fine on the aggravated assault with a deadly weapon conviction. On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which he concludes the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. 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, 811 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response.

We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court's duty in Anders cases). We agree the appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeals.

Although not an arguable issue, we note the record shows the trial court orally pronounced a $3,000 fine after it found appellant guilty and imposed the sentence in each case. The judgments, however, recite $2,000 fines. When a conflict exists between the oral pronouncement and the written judgment, the oral pronouncement controls. See Coffey v. State, 979 S.W.2d 326, 328 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998). We modify the judgment in each case to show the fine is $3,000. See 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).

As modified, we affirm the trial court's judgments.
