THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Myers, Molberg, and Osborne

Opinion by Justice Myers

Appellant Christopher Lajuan Davis appeals his convictions, following the adjudication of 

his guilt, for (1) possession with intent to deliver phencyclidine in an amount of four grams or 

more but less than 200 grams, (2) aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and (3) assault causing 

bodily injury involving family violence enhanced by a previous conviction for assault involving 

family violence. The trial court assessed punishment at twenty years’ imprisonment in the drug 

case, eighteen years’ imprisonment in the aggravated assault case, and ten years’ imprisonment in 

the assault involving family violence case. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which 

she concludes the appeals are 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 
–2–

High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978) (determining whether 

brief meets requirements of Anders). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We 

advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response. See 

Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (noting appellant has right to file 

pro se response to Anders brief filed by counsel).

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 

appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support 

the appeals.

Although not an arguable issue, we note the judgments adjudicating guilt incorrectly recite 

there were plea bargain terms in these cases and that the attorney representing the State was 

“Patrick Capetillo.” The record, however, shows appellant entered open pleas of true to the

allegations in the motions to adjudicate, and Jennifer Balido represented the State during the 

proceedings. Accordingly, on our own motion, we modify the section of each judgment entitled 

“terms of plea bargain” to show “open,” and the section entitled “attorney for state” to show 

“Jennifer Balido.” TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(b); Bigley v. State, 865 S.W.2d 26, 27–28 (Tex. Crim. 

App. 1993) (courts of appeals have authority to modify a judgment); Estrada v. State, 334 S.W.3d 

57, 63–64 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2009, no pet.) (same).

As modified, we affirm the trial court’s judgments adjudicating guilt.
