C. Michael Lucas v. James Jolly Clark & Eonic Creations Inc. ( 2011 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-10-00245-CR
Antwan Tolbert, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 4 OF TRAVIS COUNTY
NO. D-1-DC-07-907771, HONORABLE MIKE DENTON, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Antwan Tolbert’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). Tolbert received a copy of counsel’s brief and was advised of his right to
examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.
We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous
and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. See
Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Counsel’s motion to withdraw
is granted.
We note, however, that the judgment of conviction contains a clerical error. The
judgment includes a finding that Tolbert violated the conditions of his community supervision as
alleged in the State’s motion to revoke community supervision by failing to avoid the use of
controlled substances or dangerous drugs, failing to report to a community supervision officer on
June 11, 2009, December 21, 2009, January 27, 2010, February 17, 2010, and February 24, 2010,
changing residence without permission and without reporting the change to a community supervision
officer, failing to complete 100 hours of community service restitution, and failing to complete a
family violence assessment. On the record at the adjudication hearing, however, the State abandoned
its allegations related to the use of controlled substances or dangerous drugs and failure to report
on June 11, 2009, and proceeded on the remaining grounds alleged in its motion.
We modify the judgment of conviction to correct this clerical error. See Traylor
v. State, No. 09-09-00384-CR, 2010 Tex. App. LEXIS 4749, at *2 (Tex. App.—Beaumont
June 23, 2010, no pet.) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (correcting clerical error in
judgment before affirming conviction in frivolous appeal under Anders); Tillman v. State, No. 14-08-
00053-CR, 2008 Tex. App. LEXIS 7882, at *4 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Oct. 16, 2008, pet.
ref’d) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (same); see also Johnson v. State, No. 05-07-
01004-CR, 2008 Tex. App. LEXIS 2148, at *3-4 (Tex. App.—Dallas Mar. 26, 2008, pet. ref’d) (not
designated for publication) (modifying judgment to delete finding that appellant had violated
community supervision on ground that had been abandoned by State at adjudication hearing). The
2
judgment is modified to delete the language stating that Tolbert violated the terms and conditions
of his community supervision by (1) failing to avoid the use of controlled substances or dangerous
drugs, and (2) failing to report to a community supervision officer on June 11, 2009.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed as modified.
