LARRY LEE GRACE, JR., Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-54162-R
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices FitzGerald and Fillmore
Opinion by Justice Fillmore
Larry Lee Grace, Jr. appeals from the adjudication of his guilt for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.02(a) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at ten years' imprisonment. On appeal, Grace'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 Grace. We advised Grace of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response. See Kelly v. State, 2014 WL 2865901 (Tex. Crim. App. June 25, 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in Anders cases).
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.
