NAKIA LASHUAN FRANKLIN, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed January 6, 2014.

On Appeal from the 416th Judicial District Court

Collin County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 416-81072-2012


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices O'Neill, Myers, and Brown

Opinion by Justice O'Neill

Nakia Lashuan Franklin waived a jury and pleaded guilty to credit card abuse. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 32.31(b) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at one year's confinement in a state jail. 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. We advised appellant of her right to file a pro se response, but she 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, 827 (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.
