MEMORANDUM OPINION


Ray Anthony Ellison appeals his convictions for unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of a prohibited weapon. He pleaded guilty to both charges and true to the enhancement paragraphs, and was sentenced to concurrent terms of twenty-five years in prison. On appeal, appellant's attorney has filed a brief in support of a motion to withdraw in which he concludes there is no point of error that can be supported by the record. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing 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; however, 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 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. We therefore conclude the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. We grant appellate counsel's motion to withdraw and affirm the trial court's judgments.
