*1 AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed November 30, 2015.
In The No. 05-15-00089-CR No. 05-15-00090-CR DEREK LYNN JEFFERY, Appellant V.
On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. F14-16488-R, F14-75920-R MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Lang-Miers, and Schenck Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
Derek Lynn Jeffery waived a jury and pleaded guilty to indecency with a child and failure to register as a sex offender. See T EX . P ENAL C ODE A NN . ยง 21.11(a)(2) (West 2011); C ODE C RIM P ROC . NN . art. 62.102(a) (West Supp. 2015). The trial court sentenced
appellant to eight yearsโ imprisonment on the indecency with a child and two yearsโ confinement in a state jail on the failure to register as a sex offender. On appeal, appellantโs attorney filed a brief in which she concludes the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California , 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional *2 evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State , 573 S.W.2d 807, 811โ12 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response. See Kelly v. State , 436 S.W.3d 313, 319โ21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in Anders cases).
We have reviewed the record and counselโs brief. See Bledsoe v. State , 178 S.W.3d 824, 826โ27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate courtโs duty in Anders cases). We agree the appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeals.
We affirm the trial courtโs judgments.
