Citation: Not availableDocket: 06-08-00105-CR
Court: Court of Appeals of Texas; January 8, 2009; Texas; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
Dexter Alexander appeals his conviction for third-degree felony possession of cocaine, for which he was sentenced to thirty-five years' imprisonment after pleading "true" to enhancement paragraphs in the indictment. Represented by appointed counsel, Alexander's attorney concluded the appeal was frivolous and without merit, having thoroughly reviewed the record and found no preserved errors for appeal. This assessment complies with the standards set forth in *Anders v. California*. Counsel notified Alexander of his right to review the appellate record and file a pro se response, which he did on December 12, 2008. The appeal, initially filed in the Twelfth Court of Appeals, was transferred to the Sixth Appellate District by the Texas Supreme Court for docket equalization. Upon independent review of the records, the appellate court found no arguable issues supporting an appeal and affirmed the trial court's judgment. Counsel's request to withdraw was granted, with no substitute counsel appointed. Alexander was informed that he could file a petition for discretionary review with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals within thirty days, adhering to specific procedural requirements outlined in the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
