STETRON LAWRENCE, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
AFFIRM; Opinion Filed January 31, 2012.
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F10-52256-H
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang, Murphy, and Myers
Opinion By Justice Lang
A jury convicted Stetron Lawrence of capital murder, and the trial court assessed punishment at life imprisonment. 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 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 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.
