Chardondra Jones v. State ( 2015 )

AFFIRMED; Opinion Filed July 29, 2015.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-01487-CR
CHARDONDRA DEVEUN JONES, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 5
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F14-51320-L
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Brown and Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Stoddart
Chardondra Deveun Jones waived a jury and pleaded guilty to assault involving family
violence and having a prior conviction for assault involving family violence. See TEX. PENAL
CODE ANN. § 22.01(a)(1), (b)(2) (West 2011); TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 71.0021, 71.005 (West
2008 & Supp. 2014). The trial court assessed punishment at eight years’ imprisonment. On
appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which she 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 her right to file a pro se response, but she 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.
