Alex Ricardo Rodriguez v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 265th District Court of Dallas County

11th Court of Appeals

Eastland, Texas

Opinion

Alex Ricardo Rodriguez

Appellant

Vs. Nos. 11-02-00303-CR & 11-02-00304-CR B Appeals from Dallas County

State of Texas

Appellee

These are appeals from judgments adjudicating guilt. In each case, Alex Ricardo Rodriguez originally entered a plea of guilty to the offense of aggravated robbery. Pursuant to plea bargain agreements, the trial court deferred the adjudication of guilt, placed appellant on community supervision for 10 years, and assessed a $2,000 fine. After a hearing on the State s motions to adjudicate, the trial court revoked appellant s community supervision, adjudicated his guilt in each case, and imposed a sentence of confinement for 45 years in each case. We affirm.

Appellant s court-appointed counsel has filed a brief in each appeal in which she states that, after diligently reviewing the entire record and the applicable law, she has concluded that the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. Counsel outlines in detail the indictment, the voluntariness of appellant s guilty pleas, the plea bargain agreements, the proceedings when appellant entered his guilty pleas, the sentence, the proceedings when the trial court heard the motions to adjudicate guilt, and the effective assistance of appellant s counsel. Counsel concludes that there are no arguable grounds of error that she can advance.

In each appeal, 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. Pro se briefs have 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 appeals are without merit.

The judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
