LEWIS OLIVER TATE, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 204th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F11-53715-Q
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, O'Neill, and Murphy
Opinion by Justice O'Neill
A jury convicted Lewis Oliver Tate of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, found two enhancement paragraphs true, and assessed punishment at forty-five years' imprisonment. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 29.03(a)(2) (West 2011). On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which she concludes the appeal is 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 appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.
Although not an arguable issue, we note the record shows appellant pleaded not true to two enhancement paragraphs during the punishment phase, and the jury found the two enhancement paragraphs true. The judgment, however, recites "N/A" for the plea and findings on each enhancement paragraph. We modify the judgment to show appellant pleaded not true to two enhancement paragraphs and the jury found the enhancement paragraphs true. 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 judgment.
