Peggy Sutherland v. State Texas

ODOM, Judge Appellant entered a plea of not guilty before the court to the offense of delivery of a controlled substance, Hydromorphone. She was convicted and the court assessed punishment, enhanced by proof of a prior felony conviction, at imprisonment in the Texas Department of Corrections for 15 years. On March 1, 1983, in an unreported per curiam opinion, a companion conviction was affirmed and this conviction was abated. Appellant's retained counsel in this case has filed a frivolous appeal brief. This Court abated the appeal for compliance with High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Cr.App. 1978).
