Court: Court of Appeals of Texas; July 19, 2007; Texas; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
William John Davidson appealed his conviction for the state jail felony offense of burglary of a building, to which he pleaded guilty without a plea bargain. The trial court sentenced him to 15 months of confinement in the State Jail Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. His court-appointed counsel submitted an Anders brief, concluding that there were no viable issues for appeal, and requested to withdraw. The counsel informed Davidson of his rights, including the ability to file a pro se brief, but after more than thirty days, Davidson did not submit any brief. The court conducted a thorough review of the record and the issues raised in the brief, finding no non-frivolous grounds for appeal. The court affirmed the trial court's judgment, agreeing with counsel's assessment that the appeal was wholly frivolous and without merit. The court also granted the counsel's motion to withdraw and instructed him to notify Davidson of the appeal's outcome and the option for discretionary review. The memorandum opinion was delivered and filed on July 19, 2007.
