LENARD JUSTIN JONES, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. F07-57722-R, F07-57723-R


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices FitzGerald, Richter, and Fillmore

Opinion by Justice Fillmore

Lenard Justin Jones appeals from the adjudication of his guilt for two drug offenses: possession of marijuana in an amount of five pounds or less but more than four ounces, and possession of 3,4-methylenedioxy methamphetamine in an amount of one gram or more but less than four grams. See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. §§ 481.116(a), (c), 481.121(a), (b)(3) (West 2010). The trial court assessed punishment at two years' confinement in a state jail facility on the marijuana conviction and seven years' imprisonment on the methamphetamine conviction. On appeal, Jones's attorney filed a brief in which she concludes the appeals are 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. Store, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978), Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to Jones. We advised Jones of his right to file a pro se response, but 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, 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court's duty in Anders cases). We agree the appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeals.

We affirm the trial court's judgments.
