Appellant makes several allegations ofinefl`ectivc assistance They are all
meritless first because they are based on unsupported factual assertions Which are outside
the record Se€ Franl<lin vt State: 693 S.W.Zd 420, 431 (Tcx. Criin. App. lS)fiS), cert
denz'ed,
475 U.S. 1031
 (1§86); see also Ex parte Preston, 833 S.W.?.d '515, 519 (Tex.
-Crirn. App. 1992) (staternents and assertions contained in an appellate brief cannot be
accepted as fact).

Second, Appellant’s claims of ineffective assistance of counsel must be rejected

because he has failed to bring forward a record supporting his claim See Thoinpson v.

w r\l\/\'~

§gt_t§, 9 b.'W.'Jd is(Jis, 613-14 (Tex. Criin. App. 1777). Tlie record is silent as to counsel`s

record showing ccunsel’s explanations for Appellant"s present accusations, Appellant has

failed to overcome the presumption that the challenged actions constituted sound trial

, grraegy and his claims must raii. see none v. state 77 s.W_.sd szs, 336 <rex. crim

App. 2002); rhomps@n, 9 s.W.3d at 813-14. z "
'l`hird, some of Appellant’s claims of poor strategy are based on his already-

discredited legal theory that indecency With a child is not a reportable conviction

Contrary to Appellant’s view, it Would probably have been unprofessional for any

licensed attorney to proceed to defend Appellant based on this strategy
