ANDRES HERRERA, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F08-11091-R

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Richter, Lang-Miers, and Myers Opinion by Justice Myers

Andres 1-lerrera was convicted of aggravated sexual assault with a deadly weapon.

Punishment was assessed at seven years’ imprisonment and a $2,000 fine. Appellant later filed a

motion for post-conviction DNA testing, which was denied. Based on the trial court’s findings

that appellant has not communicated with counsel and that he has been removed from the United

States and returned to his native country, we concluded appellant no longer desires to pursue the

appeal. We ordered the appeal submitted without briefs. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(4). Absent

briefs, no issues are before us. Finding no fundamental error, we affirm the trial court’s order denying the motion for

post-conviction DNA testing.
