Kelly Kyle King v. State ( 2001 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-01-00220-CR
Kelly Kyle King, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 368TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 97-366-K368, HONORABLE BURT CARNES, JUDGE PRESIDING
In November 1998, appellant Kelly Kyle King pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual
assault. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.021(West Supp. 2001). Pursuant to a plea bargain
agreement, the court deferred adjudication and placed appellant on community supervision. In
February 2001, the court revoked supervision, adjudicated appellant guilty, and sentenced him to
imprisonment for twenty years.
Appellant’s court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding that the appeal is
frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738
(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable
grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d
807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Jackson v.
State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App.
1969). After examining the record, appellant also filed a pro se brief.
Appellant first contends the evidence does not support the court’s decision to revoke
supervision and adjudicate guilt. The decision to proceed to adjudication is not reviewable on appeal.
Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 42.12, § 5(b) (West Supp. 2001). Pro se point of error one is
overruled.
Next, appellant contends his original guilty plea was involuntary. Issues relating to the
original plea proceeding must generally be raised in an appeal taken when deferred adjudication
supervision is imposed. Manuel v. State, 994 S.W.2d 658, 661-62 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999); see also
Nix v. State, No. 793-00, slip op. at 4-5 (Tex. Crim. App. June 27, 2001); Jordan v. State, No. 1929-
99, slip op. at 5 (Tex. Crim. App. June 27, 2001). Point of error two is overruled.
Appellant’s third point contention is that he did not receive a fair sentencing hearing.
The factual allegations he makes to support this contention are not supported by the record. Point of
error three is overruled.
Finally, appellant contends his attorney on appeal was ineffective. We have reviewed
the record and counsel’s brief, however, and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We
find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. Point of error four is overruled.
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
