JAMES RYON SHAVER, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 412th District Court Brazoria County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 80523-CR

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant pled guilty to criminally negligent homicide and in exchange the trial court deferred adjudication of guilt and placed appellant under community supervision. Subsequently, the State filed a motion to adjudicate guilt. The trial court adjudicated guilt. From that conviction, appellant brought this appeal.

Appellant's appointed counsel 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), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811-13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant. Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). As of this date, more than 60 days have passed and no pro se response has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the record. We are not to address the merits of each claim raised in an Anders brief or a pro se response when we have determined there are no arguable grounds for review. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Jewell and Poissant.
