TIMOTHY JAMES FRYAR, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the15th Judicial District Court Grayson County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 063988
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Fillmore, Myers, and Evans
Opinion by Justice Evans
A jury convicted Timothy James Fryar of assault involving family violence and having a prior 2007 conviction for assault involving family violence. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.01(a)(1), (b)(2)(A) (West 2011); TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 71.0021, 71.005 (West 2008 & Supp. 2014). The trial court assessed punishment, enhanced by a prior felony conviction, at eight years' imprisonment. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 12.42(a) (West Supp. 2014). 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, 811-12 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319-21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in Anders cases).
The prior conviction was for another felony assault involving family violence. --------
Appellant filed a pro se response raising a single issue. After reviewing appellant's counsel's brief, appellant's pro se response, the State's response brief, and the record, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (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.
