MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM

A jury found appellant Rodolfo F. Cervantes guilty of two counts of aggravated assault and assessed punishment in trial-court case number 21-CR-2514 (appellate case number 14-23-00494-CR) at imprisonment for fifteen years and in trial-court case number 21-CR-2513 (appellate case number 14-23-00495-CR) at imprisonment for twenty years, to run concurrently. See Tex. Penal Code § 22.02. Appellant's appointed counsel filed briefs in which counsel concludes the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. The briefs meet the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811-13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

Copies of counsel's briefs were delivered to appellant. Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate records and file pro se responses. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). As of this date, more than 60 days have passed and no pro se responses have been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the records and counsel's briefs and agree the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we conclude there is no reversible error in the records. We are not to address the merits of each claim raised in an Anders brief or a pro se response when we have determined there are no arguable grounds for review. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

Accordingly, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
