JOHN CHRISTOPHER WEST, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appealfrom the 263rd District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1269440

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant John Christopher West challenges his conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Appellant's appointed counsel filed a brief in which counsel 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 reviewed the record and counsel's brief carefully 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).

Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Jamison and Busby Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
