      TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN


                                        NO. 03-12-00225-CR



                                      Mark Green, Appellant

                                                   v.

                                    The State of Texas, Appellee


    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
    NO. D-1-DC-10-904077, THE HONORABLE CHARLES F. BAIRD, JUDGE PRESIDING



                             MEMORANDUM OPINION


                A jury convicted Mark Green of evading arrest with a prior conviction for evading

arrest, a state jail felony offense. See Act of June 19, 2009, 81st Leg., R.S., ch. 1400, § 4, 2009 Tex.

Gen. Laws 4385, 4385–86 (amended 2011) (current version at Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 38.04(a),

(b)(1)(A) (West 2011)). The jury found the enhancement paragraphs alleging two previous

sequential non-state jail felony convictions to be true and, pursuant to the state jail habitual offender

punishment provision of the penal code, assessed Green’s punishment at confinement for six years

in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. See Act of May 29, 1995, 74th Leg., R.S., ch. 318, § 4,

1995 Tex. Gen. Laws 2734, 2734–35 (amended 2011) (current version at Tex. Penal Code Ann.

§ 12.425 (West 2011)) (providing that at trial of unaggravated state jail felony, defendant shall be

punished for second degree felony upon proof of two previous sequential felony convictions).
               Green’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

(1988). Green’s counsel provided a copy of the brief to his client and advised Green of his right

to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Garner,

300 S.W.3d at 766. No pro se brief or other written response has been filed.

               We have conducted an independent review of the record and reviewed counsel’s brief.

We find no reversible error. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Garner, 300 S.W.3d at 766; Bledsoe

v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). 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.

               However, we note that the judgment of conviction contains clerical errors. The record

reflects that at the punishment phase of trial Green pled “True” to the allegations contained in the

enhancement paragraphs of the indictment. The record further reflects that the jury found the

allegations in the enhancement paragraphs to be true. However, the judgment reflects “N/A” as to

both the plea and findings regarding the enhancement paragraphs.

               This Court has authority to modify incorrect judgments when the necessary

information is available to do so. See Bigley v. State, 865 S.W.2d 26, 27–28 (Tex. Crim. App.

1993); Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(b). Accordingly, we modify the judgment to reflect that Green pled



                                                 2
“True” to the enhancement paragraphs of the indictment and to reflect that the findings on the

enhancement paragraphs were true.1 See Britton v State, No. 02-10-00299-CR, 2011 WL 4345288,

at *1 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth Sept. 15, 2011) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (modifying

judgment to reflect proper plea to enhancement paragraphs before affirming conviction in frivolous

appeal under Anders).

                As modified, the judgment of conviction is affirmed.

           We received a supplemental clerk’s record containing a nunc pro tunc judgment entered
by the trial court in this case. However, Rule 23 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, which
governs nunc pro tunc proceedings in criminal cases, provides that “unless the defendant has
appealed, a failure to render judgment and pronounce sentence may be corrected at any time by the
trial court.” See Tex. R. App. P. 23.1 (emphasis added); see also Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(g) (once
record has been filed in appellate court, all further proceedings in trial court are suspended until trial
court receives appellate-court mandate). Because this case was appealed by the defendant and the
record had been filed in this Court but no mandate yet issued, the trial court did not have authority
to enter the nunc pro tunc judgment. Moreover, we note that while the nunc pro tunc judgment
corrects the plea and findings relating to the first enhancement paragraph, it fails to correct the plea
and findings relating to the second enhancement paragraph.
