CHAZMON MONTREL BLACKSHEAR, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F11-58305-M

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Fillmore, Whitehill, and Boatright
Opinion by Justice Fillmore

Chazmon Montrel Blackshear appeals his conviction, following adjudication of his guilt, for possession with intent to deliver cocaine in an amount of one gram or more but less than four grams. The trial court assessed punishment at fifteen 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, 811-12 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319-21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (noting an appellant has right to file pro se response to an Anders brief filed by his counsel).

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.
