REYMUNDO LUIS VALDEZ, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 174th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1649251

Panel Consists of Justices Jewell, Zimmerer, and Hassan.

ORDER

PER CURIAM

On August 7, 2023, appellant's counsel, L.T. "Butch" Bradt, filed a brief stating the appeal in this cause is frivolous. The brief, however, does not comply with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), or Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 683 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974), as interpreted in High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

The record reveals that sentence was imposed after a jury trial. The brief does not analyze (1) the indictment; (2) adverse rulings before, during, or after trial; (3) voir dire; (4) the evidence presented at trial; (5) the jury instructions; or (6) the sentence. The brief does not point out where pertinent testimony may be found in the record, refer to pages in the record where objections were made, the nature of the objection, the trial court's ruling, nor does it discuss either why the trial court's ruling was correct or why appellant was not harmed by the ruling of the court. See High, 573 S.W.2d at 813.

It is ORDERED that the brief filed by appellant in appellate cause number 14-23-00070-CR, styled Reymundo Luis Valdez v. The State of Texas, is struck. Appellant's counsel is ORDERED to file a brief in compliance with the appellate rules and Anders procedure in this court on or before June 17, 2024.
