Manuel Constancio AKA Manuel Ruiz Constancio, IV v. State ( 2015 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-14-00221-CR
Manuel Constancio aka Manuel Ruiz Constancio, IV, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY, 51ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. A-13-1024-SA, HONORABLE JAY K. WEATHERBY, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
A jury found appellant Manuel Constancio aka Manuel Ruiz Constancio, IV, guilty
of indecency with a child by contact and sentenced him to fourteen years in prison. Appellant’s
court-appointed attorney has filed a brief concluding that this 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). Appellant
has filed a brief and a supplemental brief.
We have reviewed the record and the briefs and agree that the appeal is frivolous and
without merit. We affirm the judgment of conviction and grant counsel’s motion to withdraw as
appellant’s attorney.
