Terry Wayne Cannon v. the State of Texas, 07-24-00378-CR

Terry Wayne Cannon was indicted for evading arrest or detention with a vehicle, with a deadly weapon allegation, and as a habitual offender due to two prior felony convictions.
The case arose from an incident where Cannon fled in a vehicle from a marked police unit after an attempted traffic stop, resulting in a high-speed chase through residential and highway traffic.
The pursuit ended in a collision where another driver, Rachel Ramon, suffered serious injuries. Police also found approximately 115 grams of cocaine and $904 in cash in Cannon's possession and vehicle.
Cannon was convicted by a jury and sentenced to 45 years of incarceration.
On appeal, Cannon’s counsel filed an Anders brief, asserting there were no meritorious grounds for appeal, and moved to withdraw from representation.
The appellate court independently reviewed the record and found no nonfrivolous grounds for appeal, affirming Cannon’s conviction and granting counsel’s withdrawal.
