MEMORANDUM OPINION
A jury found appellant, Jarrett Brian Kinds, guilty of two offenses of aggravated robbery in cause numbers 965668 and 965669. In each case appellant pleaded true to the enhancement paragraph. The jury assessed punishment in cause number 965668 at confinement for 25 years and a fine of $800, and in cause number 965669 at confinement for 35 years and a fine of $80. Appellant filed timely notices of appeal. Appellant's court-appointed counsel filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a brief concluding that these appeals are without merit. Counsel's brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record that demonstrates the lack of arguable grounds of error. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex.Crim.App. 1978); Moore v. State, 845 S.W.2d 352, 353 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, pet. ref'd). Counsel represents that she served a copy of the brief on appellant. Counsel also advised appellant of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex.Crim.App. 1991). More than 30 days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief. We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel's brief. We find no reversible error in the record, and agree that the appeals are without merit. We therefore affirm the judgments of the trial court. We grant counsel's motion to withdraw.See Stephens v. State, 35 S.W.3d 770, 771 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2000, no pet.).
Counsel has a duty to inform appellant of the result of his appeal and also to inform him that he may, on his own, pursue discretionary review in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25, 27 (Tex.Crim.App. 1997).
