AKIL RASHAD BROWN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


AFFIRM; Opinion Filed January 5, 2012.

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. F09-14720-I, F09-14721-I

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Lang, Murphy, and Myers

Opinion By Justice Lang

Akil Rashad Brown appeals from the adjudication of his guilt for two burglary of a habitation offenses. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 30.02(a)(1) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at six years' imprisonment in each case. On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which he concludes the appeals are 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 his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response.

We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (court of appeals's duty is to determine whether there are any arguable issues, and, if so, to remand the case to the trial court so that new counsel may be appointed to address those issues). We agree the appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support these appeals.

We affirm the trial court's judgments.
