Case Information

*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, appellantโ€™s 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, 811โ€“12 (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, 319โ€“21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in Anders cases).

We have reviewed the record and counselโ€™s brief. See Bledsoe v. State , 178 S.W.3d 824, 826โ€“27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate courtโ€™s 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 courtโ€™s judgments.
