JOHN ALCANTAR ALVA, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


AFFIRMED; Opinion Filed February 27, 2014.

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F11-31394-I


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices Lang-Miers, Myers, and Lewis

Opinion by Justice Myers

John Alcantar Alva appeals following the adjudication of his guilt for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.02(a) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at ten years' imprisonment. On appeal, appellant'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 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant.

Appellant filed a pro se response raising several issues After reviewing counsel's brief, appellant's pro se response, and the record, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court's duty in Anders cases). We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

We affirm the trial court's judgment.
