JOE ANGEL FLORES, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F14-30275-M

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Schenck, Osborne, and Reichek
Opinion by Justice Reichek

Appellant Joe Angel Flores appeals from the revocation of his community supervision. A jury convicted appellant for evading arrest or detention while using a motor vehicle. The trial court assessed punishment at three years' imprisonment and a $750 fine, probated for three years. The State later moved to revoke appellant's community supervision, alleging numerous violations. In a hearing on the motion, appellant pleaded true to all of the allegations. The trial court found the allegations true, revoked appellant's community supervision, and sentenced appellant to three years' imprisonment.

On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which he 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, 812 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978) (determining whether brief meets requirements of Anders). 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. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319-21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (noting appellant has right to file pro se response to Anders brief filed by counsel).

We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court's duty in Anders cases). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

We affirm the trial court's judgment.
