RICHARD SAMUEL MORALES, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


Affirmed and Opinion Filed June 19, 2014

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. F10-58307-I, F10-59679-I, F10-60886-I


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices Moseley, O'Neill, and FitzGerald

Opinion by Justice FitzGerald

Richard Samuel Morales appeals from the adjudication of his guilt for assault resulting in bodily injury and involving family violence, having a previous conviction for assault involving family violence; aggravated sexual assault with a deadly weapon; and aggravated kidnapping with a deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 20.04(b), 22.01(a), 22.021(a)(1)(A)(i) (West 2011 & Supp. 2013); TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 71.0021, 71.005 (West 2008 & Supp. 2013). The trial court assessed punishment at ten years' imprisonment on the assault conviction and thirty years' imprisonment on the aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping convictions. On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which he 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. 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 records 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 records that might arguably support the appeals.

We affirm the trial court's judgments. Do Not Publish
