Jonathan Demond Crews v. State ( 2015 )

Affirmed and Opinion Filed July 29, 2015
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00051-CR
JONATHAN DEMOND CREWS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-56357-M
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Lang-Miers, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Francis
A jury convicted Jonathan Demond Crews of assault involving family violence,
enhanced by a prior conviction for assault involving family violence. During the punishment
phase, the jury found one enhancement paragraph alleging a prior conviction for aggravated
assault true and assessed punishment at fifteen years in prison and a $5,000 fine. On appeal,
appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and
without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no
arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–12 (Tex. Crim. App.
[Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of
his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response. See Kelly v. State, 436
S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel
in Anders cases).
We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824,
826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We agree
the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably
support the appeal.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
