TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN



NO. 03-08-00147-CR


Joshua Caleb Lowry, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee




FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BLANCO COUNTY, 33RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 899, HONORABLE DANIEL H. MILLS, JUDGE PRESIDING


M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

	Appellant Joshua Caleb Lowry was indicted for two counts of aggravated assault with
a deadly weapon.  In September 2006, he pled guilty and was placed on deferred adjudication with
eight years of community supervision.  In November 2007, the State moved to adjudicate appellant's
guilt, alleging that he had violated the terms of his supervision on October 27, 2007, by driving while
intoxicated and resisting arrest.  At the hearing on the State's motion, appellant pled true to all of the
State's allegations in exchange for the State's agreement not to indict him for DWI.  The trial court
adjudicated him guilty of the 2006 assault charge and, after hearing testimony related to the
October 27 incident, as well as two other evading arrest charges from 2004 and 2005, sentenced him
to fifteen years' imprisonment.  Appellant's appointed attorney has filed a brief concluding that the
appeal is frivolous and without merit.  
	Counsel's brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 743-44
(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating that there are no
arguable grounds to be advanced.  See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80 (1988); Anders, 386 U.S. at
743-44; High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811-13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d
684, 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137, 138 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). 
Appellant's attorney sent appellant a copy of the brief and advised him that he had the right to
examine the record and file a pro se brief.  See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Jackson v. State,
485 S.W.2d 553, 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972).  No pro se brief has been filed.
	We have considered the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is
frivolous and without merit.  We have reviewed the evidence presented to the jury and the
procedures that were observed and find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. 
We grant counsel's motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment of conviction. (1)
