THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 416th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 416-81382-2012 & 416-82049-2014 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang, Brown, and Whitehill Opinion by Justice Whitehill Appellant pleaded not true to the allegations in the State’s motions to enter a final adjudication of guilt. However, the trial court found appellant guilty of both offenses (assault family violence and injury to a child under 14 years of age or younger) and assessed punishment at two years in prison for each. He timely appealed both convictions. When appellant did not provide this Court with written verification that he designated the reporter’s record, we ordered the appeals submitted without it. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(c)(1). We later abated the appeals for a hearing on why his brief had not been filed. At the hearing in the trial court, appellant appeared with counsel and informed the trial court that he no longer wished to pursue the appeals. We adopted the trial court’s finding that appellant had abandoned his appeals and ordered the appeals submitted without briefs. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(4). Absent briefs, there are no issues before us. Finding no fundamental error, we affirm the trial court’s judgments. /Bill Whitehill/ BILL WHITEHILL JUSTICE Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP.
