BENJAMIN DEVORA, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 180th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1474449

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant appeals his conviction for robbery. Appellant's appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirement of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), 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).

A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant. Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). At appellant's request, the record was provided to him. On September 28, 2017, appellant filed a pro se response to counsel's brief. Appellant also filed two motions, which the court carried with the case.

We have carefully reviewed the record, counsel's brief, and appellant's response, and agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the record. A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state. 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 judgment of the trial court is affirmed, and appellant's pending motions are denied.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Donovan, and Wise.
