LYDIA L. CURTIS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


Affirm and Opinion Filed September 27, 2013

On Appeal from the 401st Judicial District Court

Collin County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 401-82230-08


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices Bridges, Fillmore, and Lewis

Opinion by Justice Bridges

Lydia L. Curtis waived a jury and pleaded not guilty to evading arrest or detention while using a motor vehicle. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 38.04(a), (b)(1)(B) (West Supp. 2012). After finding appellant guilty, the trial court assessed punishment at four 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 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant.

Appellant filed a pro se response raising several issues After reviewing counsel's brief, appellant's pro se response, and the record, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court's duty in Anders cases). We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

We affirm the trial court's judgment. Do Not Publish
