________________________________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Counsel for Appellant Deborah Alford files this Anders brief in

these consolidated appeals.

                  STATEMENT OF THE CASE

NATURE OF THE CASE            Defendant was charged with possession of
                              cocaine in Cause # 06-CR-2619-C. She was
                              placed on community supervision, which was
                              revoked in 2014 when she pled true to a mo-
                              tion to revoke her probation.

TRIAL JUDGE                   Hon. Bobby Galvan

TRIAL COURT/COUNTY            94th District Court, Nueces County

                                    vi
DISPOSITION IN THE           The trial court revoked Defendant’s commu-
TRIAL COURT                  nity supervision in the possession case, and
                             adjudicated guilt on a robbery charge. De-
                             fendant was sentenced to two years in the
                             state jail on the possession conviction and
                             three years’ imprisonment on the robbery
                             conviction.

                             Defendant appealed the possession case and
                             the robbery case (13-15-00681).

                                  ISSUE

       Is there a colorable issue to raise in this appeal?

                     STATEMENT OF FACTS

       In 2006, Alford pled guilty to delivery of cocaine. She was sen-

tenced to two years of state jail time, with her sentence probated for

three years. C.R. 37. Her community service on this charge was extended

five times:

Date of order     New termination date           Record reference
  4/10/08               9/6/11                   C.R. 61, 63
  7/14/11               9/6/12                   C.R. 93
  12/7/11               9/6/13                   C.R. 107
  8/14/13               9/6/14                   C.R. 110
  8/20/14               9/6/15                   Suppl. C.R. 5

                                     vii
       In October 2014, the State moved the trial court to revoke her

community service. C.R. 124. At the hearing, the State asked the trial

court to sentence Alford to two years in state jail on the possession

charge and three years’ imprisonment on another charge. R.R. 8. Al-

ford’s counsel requested reinstatement of probation on both charges.

R.R. 8-9. The trial court followed the State’s recommendations on revo-

cation and sentencing. R.R. 10.

                   SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

       An appeal in this case would be frivolous as there are no colorable

issues to raise.

                              ARGUMENT

Issue restated: Is there a colorable issue to raise in this appeal?

       Standard for Anders brief. The attorney’s role as an advocate

requires that counsel support a client’s appeal to the best of his or her

ability. Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). A defendant's right to

assistance of counsel, however, does not included the right to have an

attorney urge frivolous or unmeritorious claims on appeal. Penson v.

Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83-84 (1988). An attorney may not properly make

                                      2
frivolous arguments to a court. McCoy v. Court of Appeals, 486 U.S. 429,

436 (1988); In re Shulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 406 fn 8 (Tex. Crim. App.

2008) (original proceeding). The purpose of an Anders brief is to ensure

that counsel has carefully reviewed the trial record and thoroughly re-

searched the law before deciding that the appeal is frivolous. Id, at 439.

Counsel must resolve all doubts and ambiguous legal questions in favor

of his or her client and file an Anders brief only if there are no argu-

ments that could conceivably persuade the court. Id. , at 444; Johnson v.

State, 885 S.W.2d 641, 645 (Tex. App.—Waco 1994, pet. ref’d)

       Potential issue: charging instruments. An indictment should

allege all that the State is required to prove. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC.

art. 21.03. An indictment drafted in the language of the statute defining

an offense is ordinarily sufficient. Few v. State, 588 S.W.2d 578, 583

(Tex. Crim. App. 1979).

       Possession of controlled substance. Pursuant to TEX. HEALTH &

SAFETY CODE § 481.112(a), except as authorized, “a person commits an

offense if the person knowingly manufactures, delivers, or possesses

with intent to deliver a controlled substance listed in Penalty Group 1.”

“Controlled substance” means “a substance, including a drug, an adul-

terant, and a dilutant, listed in … Penalty Groups 1, 1-A, or 2 through

                                      3
4. The term includes the aggregate weight of any mixture, solution, or

other substance containing a controlled substance.” TEX. HEALTH &

SAFETY CODE § 481.002(5). “Penalty Group 1” includes cocaine. Id.,

§ 481.102(3)(D). “Deliver” means “to transfer, actually or constructive-

ly, to another a controlled substance…. The term includes offering to

sell a controlled substance, counterfeit substance, or drug parapherna-

lia.” TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE § 481.002(8).

        The possession indictment alleges that Alford

        on or about MARCH 11, 2006, in Nueces County, Texas, did then
        and there knowingly and intentionally make an actual transfer or a
        constructive transfer of COCAINE, a controlled substance listed in
        Penalty Group 1 of the Texas Controlled Substances Act, to
        TODD BEACH, and that the amount transferred was, by aggregat-
        ed weight, including any adulterants or dilutants, less than one
        gram….

Because this indictment tracks the statutory language, the charging instrument

is legally sufficient.

        Potential issue: pretrial motions. No pretrial motions were filed

on behalf of Alford in this case.

        Potential issue: guilty plea procedures. A judge accepting a

plea of guilty or no contest is required to provide certain statutory ad-

monishments. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 26.13(a). A judge may do so

                                       4
orally or in writing. If in writing, there must be a statement signed by

the defendant and his attorney that he understands the admonishments

and is aware of the consequences of his plea. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC.

art. 26.13(d). Substantial compliance is sufficient, in the absence of an

affirmative showing by the defendant that he was not aware of the con-

sequences of his plea and that he was mislead or harmed by the admon-

ishment of the court. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 26.13(c).

      The record shows substantial compliance with the admonish-

ment requirements in all three cases:

(1) range of punishment                        C.R. 15
                                               R.R. 7
(2) recommendation of the prosecuting          C.R. 12
attorney as to punishment is not binding
on the court
(3) in plea agreement, the trial court must    C.R. 14, 19, 20, 27
give its permission before the defendant
may prosecute an appeal on any matter in
the case except for those matters raised by
written motions filed prior to trial
(4) consequences of non-citizenship            Defendant is a U.S. citi-
                                               zen.
                                               C.R. 19

(5) sex offender registration requirements     Not in issue.

                                     5
       Potential issue: mental competence. A guilty plea may not be

accepted unless the defendant is mentally competent and the plea is free

and voluntary. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 26.13(b). Alford and her

counsel indicated that Alford was competent and had freely made his

plea. CR 18, 21, Suppl. R.R. 4-5; R.R. 5-6.

       Potential issue: proof of charges. There was no error in the

proof of the charges against Alford.

       Initial possession conviction. The defendant’s judicial confession

admitting all elements of the offense is sufficient evidence to support a

conviction. Dinnery v. State, 592 S.W.2d 343, 353 (Tex. Crim. App. 1979)

(op. on reh’g); Trevino v. State, 519 S.W.2d 864, 866 (Tex. Crim. App.

1975). Alford judicially confessed to this charge. C.R. 28. The police re-

ports introduced, without objection, also supported the charge. C.R. 31

et seq., Suppl. R.R. 6.

       Revocation. Whether to revoke community supervision rests

within the discretion of the trial court. Wester v. State, 542 S.W.2d 403,

405 (Tex. Crim. App. 1976). The burden of proof in a probation revo-

cation is measured by a preponderance of the evidence. Cobb v. State,

851 S.W.2d 871, 873 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993). Appellate review of evi-

                                       6
dence presented at a revocation hearing is in the light most favorable to

the trial court's decision. Jones v. State, 589 S.W.2d 419, 421 (Tex. Crim.

App. 1979).

       In its motion to revoke probation, the State’s allegations included

Alford’s submission of positive urine analysis for cocaine. C.R. (rob-

bery) 94. She pled true to at least one violation, including the positive

urine tests. C.R. 116; R.R. 7. In reviewing a probation revocation, a sin-

gle violation of probation is sufficient to support the trial court's deci-

sion to revoke. Moore v. State, 605 S.W.2d 924, 926 (Tex. Crim. App.

1980) (panel op.); Solis v. State, 13-14-0008-CR, 2015 Tex. App. LEXIS

527, *1 fn 1 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2015, no pet. h.) (mem. op.);

Herrera v. State, 951 S.W.2d 197, 199 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 1997,

no pet.).

       Limited review. An appellant may not appeal matters relating to

the original plea proceeding after his community supervision has been

revoked and an adjudication of guilt formally made. Manuel v. State,

994 S.W.2d 658, 661 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999). The two limited excep-

tions to this principle are the “void judgment” exception and the “ha-

beas corpus” exception. Nix v. State, 65 S.W.3d 664, 667 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2001). Neither exception applies here.

                                      7
      Potential issue: punishment. The trial court imposed punish-

ment in accord with statutory requirements.

          • Alford was sentenced to two years for possession. De-
            livery of a controlled substance in Penalty Group 1 is a
            state jail felony if the amount of the controlled sub-
            stance is, by aggregate weight, including adulterants or
            dilutants, less than one gram. TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY
            CODE § 481.112(b). In this case, an individual adjudged
            guilty of a state jail felony may be punished by confine-
            ment in a state jail for any term of not more than two
            years or less than 180 days. TEX. PENAL CODE §
            12.35(a).
          • The trial court also fined her $1,500. C.R. (possession)
            37. The revocation judgment, however, did not include
            a fine. C.R. 122.

The sentence is within the range of punishment for the charge.

      The United States Constitution prohibits “cruel and unusual

punishment.” U.S. CONST. amend. VIII. “Embodied in the Constitu-

tion’s ban on cruel and unusual punishments is the ‘precept of justice

that punishment for crime should be graduated and proportioned to

[the] offense.’” Graham v. Florida, 560 U.S. 48, 59 (2010). Proportionality

contests include challenges to the length of term-of-years sentences

given circumstances in a particular case. Id. In these challenges, courts

analyze the claim with a threshold comparison of the gravity of the of-

fense and severity of the sentence. Only in the “rare case,” where the

                                     8
threshold comparison suggests gross disproportionality will the courts

then compare the defendant’s sentence with the sentences received by

other offenders in the same jurisdiction and with the sentences imposed

for the same crime in other jurisdictions. Id.

      In these appeals, Alford’s offenses allowed punishment in the

range imposed on her. When the punishment assessed is within the

range of punishment established by the legislature, there is no violation

of the constitutional provisions against cruel and unusual punishment.

McNew v. State, 608 S.W.2d 166, 174 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Samuel v.

State, 477 S.W.2d 611, 614 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972). The judgments ad-

judicating guilt reflect the same sentence that the court imposed at the

hearings. R.R. 7; C.R. 37, R.R. 10; C.R. 122.

      There is no evidence from the record to suggest the 534 days

credited on the possession charge were improperly applied. The trial

court allowed the sentences in the two cases to be served concurrently.

There is no indication of disproportionality between the length sen-

tence and the severity of the offenses. Vela v. State, 2014 Tex. App.

LEXIS 7281, 2014 WL 3049482 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2014, no

pet.) (memo. op).

                                     9
       Potential issue: effective representation. To show ineffective

assistance of trial counsel, an appellant must show by a preponderance

of the evidence that counsel's representation fell below the standard of

prevailing professional norms and that there is a reasonable probability

that, but for counsel's deficiency, the result of the trial would have been

different. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 688 (1984); Salinas v.

State, 163 S.W.3d 734, 740 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Review of counsel's

representation is highly deferential, and there is a strong presumption

that counsel's conduct fell within a wide range of reasonable representa-

tion. Salinas, 163 S.W.3d at 740. A reviewing court will rarely be in a po-

sition on direct appeal to fairly evaluate the merits of an ineffective as-

sistance claim. Id. To overcome the presumption of reasonable profes-

sional assistance, “any allegation of ineffectiveness must be firmly

founded in the record, and the record must affirmatively demonstrate

the alleged ineffectiveness.” Thompson v. State, 9 S.W.3d 808, 813 (Tex.

Crim. App. 1999).

       Alford was represented by counsel at every hearing. She indicated

she was satisfied with her representation at the hearings prior to her be-

ing placed on probation. C.R. 28 (SX-1). Ineffective assistance of coun-

sel is not demonstrated.

                                      10
          Potential issue: fundamental error. In rare situations, appellate

courts reverse convictions even when the error resulting in the reversal

was not properly preserved at trial. Carter v. State, 656 S.W.2d 468, 469–

470 (Tex. Crim. App. 1983);. The doctrine of fundamental error is lim-

ited in Texas criminal practice to those federal constitutional errors la-

beled as “structural” by the United States Supreme Court. Cain v. State,

947 S.W.2d 262, 264 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997), referencing Arizona v.

Fulminante, 499 U.S. 279, 309-310 (1991).

          The district court had both subject matter jurisdiction (felonies

adjudicated in the district court), and geographic jurisdiction (offenses

committed in Nueces County). None of the types of fundamental error

that would undermine the fairness of the proceedings against Alford

appear in the record. Schmolesky, TEX. CRIM. PRAC. GUIDE § 90.08

[g][i].

                      PRAYER FOR RELIEF

      WHEREFORE, Deborah Alford’s appellate counsel, has dili-

gently reviewed the entire record and concludes there is no reversible

error, and respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant the

pending motion to withdraw as counsel.
