THERESE ANN LADD,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
_________________________________
FROM THE 251ST DISTRICT COURT OF RANDALL COUNTY;
NO. 18189-C; HON. PATRICK A. PIRTLE, PRESIDING
_______________________________
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Therese Ann Ladd appeals from a judgment convicting her of failing to comply with
the sex offender registration requirements. We affirm.
Appellant was initially convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and
indecency with a child by contact. She was subsequently charged with failing to register
as a sex offender within 90 days as required by law. She pled true to that allegation
without a recommendation as to punishment.
Appellant’s counsel has now moved to withdraw, after filing a brief pursuant to
Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967), representing he
has searched the record and found no arguable grounds for reversal. The motion and brief
illustrate that counsel notified appellant of her right to file her own brief. So too did we
inform appellant that any pro se response or brief she cared to file had to be filed by
January 29, 2007. To date, no response or request for extension of time to file a response
has been received.
In compliance with the principles enunciated in Anders, appellate counsel discussed
two potential areas for appeal. They involve 1) whether appellant was afforded due
process at her plea hearing, and 2) the effectiveness of trial counsel. However, counsel
has satisfactorily explained why each argument lacks merit.
We have also conducted our own review of the record to assess the accuracy of
appellate counsel’s conclusions and to uncover any reversible error pursuant to Stafford
v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). Our own review has failed to reveal
such error.
Accordingly, the motion to withdraw is granted, and the judgment is affirmed.
Brian Quinn
Chief Justice
