R. B. Ethridge v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 27th District Court of Bell County

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS,
AT AUSTIN
NO. 3-91-287-CR
R. B. ETHRIDGE,

APPELLANT

 
vs.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,

APPELLEE

 
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 39,878, HONORABLE JOE CARROLL, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

A jury found appellant guilty of possessing less than twenty-eight grams of cocaine, a controlled substance. Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. 481.115 (Pamph. 1992). Appellant pleaded true to four paragraphs alleging previous felony convictions, and the jury assessed punishment at imprisonment for life. After being admonished by the court of the disadvantages of self-representation, appellant waived counsel on appeal.

The statement of facts was prepared at no cost to appellant, and a copy was made available to him. Following an extension of time for filing, appellant's brief on appeal was due to be filed on November 18, 1991. No brief has been tendered for filing, nor has appellant moved for a further extension of time. Because appellant represents himself, he bears full responsibility for the failure to file a brief. We will therefore consider this appeal without briefs.

We have examined the transcript and statement of facts. We find no fundamental error or other matter that should be considered in the interest of justice.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
