CHRISTOPHER BERNARD LAWSON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Affirmed and Memorandum Opinion filed December 12, 2013.
On Appeal from the 337th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1323274
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant entered a plea of guilty to aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. The conviction was enhanced with a prior felony conviction and the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for twenty-two years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a notice of appeal.
Appellant's appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirement of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).
A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant. Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. (Tex. Crim. App.1991). As of this date, no pro se response has been filed.
We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the record. We are not to address the merits of each claim raised in an Anders brief or a pro se response when we have determined there are no arguable grounds for review. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Chief Justice Frost and Justices Boyce and Jamison. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
