SHANTAVIA PATRICE BELL, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


AFFIRM; Opinion issued November 28, 2012

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F12-13531-H


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices Moseley, Francis, and Lang

Opinion by Justice Francis

Shantavia Patrice Bell waived a jury and pleaded guilty to attempted burglary of a habitation. The trial court assessed punishment at ten years in prison. 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 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of her right to file a pro se response, but she did not file a pro se response.

We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. Slate, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). 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.
