In The No. 05-15-00111-CR JOSEPH RIOS, Appellant V.
On Appeal from the 363rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F14-52354-W MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Fillmore and Stoddart Opinion by Justice Fillmore
Joseph Rios waived a jury and pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, a firearm. See T P ENAL C ODE NN . § 29.03(a) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at twenty years’ imprisonment. On appeal, Rios’s attorney filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–12 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to Rios. We advised Rios of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se *2 response. See Kelly v. State , 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in Anders cases).
We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. See Bledsoe v. State , 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
