Court: Court of Appeals of Texas; January 23, 1996; Texas; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
Eric Eugene Claypool was tried and convicted of the lesser included offense of murder after being indicted for capital murder. The jury sentenced him to ninety-nine years in prison. His court-appointed attorney submitted a brief concluding that the appeal was frivolous and without merit, adhering to the standards set forth in *Anders v. California* and related cases. The attorney identified potential points for appeal but ultimately deemed them non-reversible. Claypool was provided with a copy of the brief and informed of his right to file a pro se brief, but he did not submit one. Upon reviewing the record and the brief, the court agreed with the attorney’s assessment, finding no arguable issues that would warrant a reversal. The court affirmed the judgment of conviction. The decision was filed on January 24, 1996, and designated as "Do Not Publish."
