APPEAL FROM THE 241ST 

JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

Jazmyn Mica Hall appeals her conviction of occlusion assault. Appellant’s counsel filed a 

brief in compliance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493 

(1967) and Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). We affirm. 

BACKGROUND

Appellant was charged by indictment with occlusion assault1 and pleaded “guilty” without 

a plea bargain agreement. In conjunction with her plea, Appellant stipulated as follows: 

[I]n the County of Smith and State of Texas, on or about the 22nd day of February 2024, . . . [I,] 

JAZMYN MICA HALL, did then and there intentionally, knowingly, and recklessly cause bodily 

injury to Sabrina Ramey . . . , a person with whom [I has or had] a dating relationship, as described 

by Section 71.0021(b) of the Texas Family Code, by intentionally, knowingly, and recklessly 

impeding the normal breathing or circulation of the blood of [Sabrina Ramey] by applying pressure 

to [her] throat or neck[.]

1 See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.01(b)(2)(B) (West Supp. 2024) (assault committed against family or 

household member or person with whom defendant has or had dating relationship committed by intentionally, 

knowingly, or recklessly impeding normal breathing or circulation of blood of person by applying pressure to person’s 

throat or neck or by blocking person’s nose or mouth). 
2 

The matter proceeded to a bench trial on punishment. There, the trial court considered, 

among other evidence, exhibits comprising arrest affidavits related to Appellant for the offenses 

of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and obstruction or retaliation.2

 The trial court also 

considered exhibits depicting the injuries suffered by the victims in those cases, as well as the case 

at hand. Following the presentation of evidence and argument of counsel, the trial court found 

Appellant “guilty” as charged and sentenced her to imprisonment for ten years. This appeal 

followed. 

ANALYSIS PURSUANT TO ANDERS V. CALIFORNIA

Appellant’s counsel filed a brief in compliance with Anders v. California and Gainous v. 

State. Appellant’s counsel states that he diligently reviewed the appellate record and is of the 

opinion that the record reflects no reversible error and that there is no error upon which an appeal 

can be predicated. He further relates that he is well-acquainted with the facts in this case. In 

compliance with Anders, Gainous, and High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel 

Op.] 1978), Appellant’s brief presents a chronological summation of the procedural history of the 

case and further states that Appellant’s counsel is unable to raise any arguable issues for appeal.3

 

We likewise reviewed the record for reversible error and found none. 

CONCLUSION

As required by Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991), Appellant’s 

counsel moved for leave to withdraw. See also In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 407 (Tex. Crim. 

App. 2008) (orig. proceeding). We carried the motion for consideration with the merits. Having 

2 The record in this case reflects that Appellant was placed on deferred-adjudication community supervision 

in each of these cases. The State subsequently filed motions to revoke Appellant’s community supervision in each 

case. The State’s motion was considered in conjunction with the punishment hearing in this case. Ultimately, the trial 

court revoked Appellant’s community supervision, adjudicated her “guilty” in each case, and sentenced her to 

imprisonment for twenty years for each offense. Those cases were appealed to this court. We affirmed the trial court’s 

judgment in each case by an opinion in Cause numbers 12-24-000128-CR and 12-24-00129-CR. That opinion was 

issued the same day as our opinion in this case.

3 In compliance with Kelly v. State, Appellant’s counsel provided Appellant with a copy of the brief, notified 

Appellant of his motion to withdraw as counsel, informed Appellant of her right to file a pro se response, and took 

concrete measures to facilitate Appellant’s review of the appellate record. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319 

(Tex. Crim. App. 2014). Appellant was given time to file her own brief. The time for filing such a brief has expired 

and no pro se brief has been filed.
3

done so and finding no reversible error, we grant Appellant’s counsel’s motion for leave to 

withdraw and affirm the trial court’s judgment.

As a result of our disposition of this case, Appellant’s counsel has a duty to, within five 

days of the date of this opinion, send a copy of the opinion and judgment to Appellant and advise 

her of her right to file a petition for discretionary review. See TEX. R. APP. P. 48.4; In re 

Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 411 n.35. Should Appellant wish to seek review of this case by the 

Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, she either must retain an attorney to file a petition for 

discretionary review on her behalf or she must file a petition for discretionary review pro se. Any 

petition for discretionary review must be filed within thirty days from either the date of this opinion 

or the date that the last timely motion for rehearing was overruled by this court. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 68.2. Any petition for discretionary review must be filed with the Texas Court of Criminal 

Appeals. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.3(a). Any petition for discretionary review should comply with 

the requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 68.4. See In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 

408 n.22.
