Randy Derrell Jones v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 265th District Court of Dallas County

11th Court of Appeals

Eastland, Texas

Opinion

Randy Derrell Jones

Appellant

Vs. No. 11-01-00282-CR B Appeal from Dallas County

State of Texas

Appellee

The trial court convicted appellant, upon his plea of guilty, of the offense of possession of cocaine with the intent to deliver. A plea bargain agreement was not reached. The trial court assessed his punishment at confinement for 11 years and a $6,000 fine. We affirm.

Appellant=s court-appointed counsel has filed a brief in which he states that, after diligently reviewing the record and the applicable law, he has concluded that the appeal is without merit and is wholly frivolous. Counsel states that there are no grounds upon which an appeal can be predicated. Counsel concludes that appellant=s plea of guilty was knowingly and voluntarily entered and that appellant received reasonably effective assistance of counsel. Counsel has furnished appellant with a copy of the brief and has advised appellant of his right to review the record and file a pro se brief. A pro se brief has not been filed. Counsel has complied with the procedures outlined in Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex.Cr.App.1991); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Cr.App.1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex.Cr.App.1974); and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Cr.App.1969).

Following the procedures outlined in Anders, we have independently reviewed the record. We agree that the appeal is without merit.

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
