TRAVIS LEE ANDERSON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3 Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-50734-J

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Lang, Brown, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Brown

Appellant Travis Lee Anderson pleaded guilty to unauthorized possession of a firearm by a felon with no agreement about punishment. The trial court assessed punishment at two years' imprisonment. On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which she 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, 811-12 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319-21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in Anders cases).

We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file any response. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319-21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in Anders cases).

We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court's duty in Anders cases). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

We affirm the trial court's judgment.
