Court of Appeals

Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

No. 06-20-00104-CR

RANDALL REYNOLDS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 8th District Court

Hopkins County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2027794

Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ.

Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On August 3, 2020, Randall Reynolds pled guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly 

weapon, in this case, a motor vehicle.1 On August 26, at a sentencing hearing, the trial court 

found Reynolds guilty of the charged offense and sentenced him to five years’ incarceration. 

Reynolds appeals that conviction and sentence.

Reynolds’s appellate counsel filed a brief that outlined the procedural history of the case, 

provided a detailed summary of the evidence elicited during the trial court proceedings, and 

stated that counsel found no meritorious issues to raise on appeal. Since counsel has provided a 

professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be 

advanced, he has met his duty under the law. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 743–44 

(1967); In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 406 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (orig. proceeding); 

Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 509–10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 

807, 812–13 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978).

Reynolds’s counsel filed a motion with this Court seeking to withdraw as counsel in this 

appeal and provided Reynolds with a copy of the brief and the motion to withdraw. His counsel 

also informed Reynolds of his right to review the record and file a pro se response and provided 

Reynolds with an unsigned motion for access to the record. 

On January 26, 2021, the Court notified Reynolds that, if he wished to file a pro se 

response to his counsel’s Anders brief, any such response was due on or before February 25, 

2021. We have received no such response or request for extension from Reynolds.

We have reviewed the entire appellate record and have independently determined that no 

reversible error exists. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). 

We affirm the judgment of the trial court.2

2Since we agree that this case presents no reversible error, we also, in accordance with Anders, grant counsel's 

request to withdraw from further representation of Appellant in this case. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744. No 

substitute counsel will be appointed. Should Appellant desire to seek further review of this case by the Texas Court 

of Criminal Appeals, Appellant must either retain an attorney to file a petition for discretionary review or file a 

pro se petition for discretionary review. Any petition for discretionary review must be (1) filed within thirty days 

from either the date of this opinion or the date on which the last timely motion for rehearing was overruled by this 

Court, see TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2, (2) filed with the clerk of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, see TEX. R. APP. P. 

68.3, and (3) in compliance with the requirements of Rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, see TEX.
