IN THE
TENTH COURT OF
APPEALS

 

No. 10-05-00045-CR
 
Avery J. Smith,
                                                                      Appellant
 v.
 
The State of Texas,
                                                                      Appellee
 
 
 

From the 54th District Court
McLennan County, Texas
Trial Court # 2004-410-C
 

MEMORANDUM 
Opinion

 
Avery J. Smith appeals from his plea-bargained
conviction of aggravated robbery.  The
trial court’s certification regarding Smith’s right of appeal and documents
contained within the clerk’s record affirmatively show that Smith has no right
to appeal, and he waived his right of appeal. 
His signed waiver states “I desire to WAIVE each and all of my rights to
Appeal, including the filing a Motion for New Trial, requesting permission to
appeal, appealing matters raised by written motion prior to trial, giving
Notice of Appeal, appealing the Judgment, Sentence or Order of the Court, and a
free record, transcript and attorney on appeal.”  Thus, Smith has no right to appeal.
The appeal is dismissed.  See
Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); High v. State, 115 S.W.3d 581, 582 (Tex.
App.—Waco 2003, pet. ref’d).

="text-align: justify; line-height: 0.388889in">      The testimony of accomplice Hill is sufficiently corroborated through the testimony of the
non-accomplice witnesses who identified Appellant.  Appellant exited the stolen van when it
returned to the apartment complex, he ran and was captured by Officer Cosby.
      Applying the Jackson test, the evidence is sufficient to support the conviction.
      Points one and two are overruled.
      Point three:  "The judgment should be reformed to delete the affirmative finding of a deadly
weapon as there is no evidence that Appellant personally used a deadly weapon."
      Where the State relies on the law of parties, no affirmative finding of a deadly weapon is
permissible unless the accused personally used or exhibited a deadly weapon.  Travelstead v.
State, 693 S.W.2d 400, 402 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985).  No witness testified that Appellant
personally used or exhibited a deadly weapon.  The State concedes that this point should be
sustained.
      Point three is sustained.  The judgment is reformed to delete the deadly weapon finding.
      Reformed and affirmed.
