Case Style:

Adam Guerrero Perez v. The State of Texas

Case Number: 03-15-00424-CR

Judge: Scott Field

Court: TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

Plaintiff's Attorney:

Mr. M. Scott Taliaferro

Defendant's Attorney:





Donald P. 'Don' Morehart.



Description: Appellant Adam Guerrero Perez was charged with driving while intoxicated, third
offense or more. See Tex. Penal Code § 49.09(b) A jury found Perez guilty, and the court found an
enhancement paragraph true. The court assessed Perez’s punishment at 20 years’ imprisonment in
the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw supported by a
brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of
Anders v. California by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there
are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967); Garner
v. State, 300 S.W.3d 763, 766 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009); see also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75,
86-87 (1988).
Appellant’s counsel has represented to the Court that he has provided copies of the
motion and the brief to the appellant; advised the appellant of his right to examine the appellate
record and file a pro se brief; and provided the appellant with a form motion for pro se access to the
appellate record along with the mailing address of this Court. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313,
319-21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); see also Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Garner, 300 S.W.3d at 766.
We have received no pro se brief from the appellant.

Outcome:

We have conducted an independent review of the record, including appellate counsel’s brief, and find no reversible error. We agree with counsel that the record presents no arguably meritorious grounds for review and the appeal is frivolous.

Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
