JERRY DAMON POWELL, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


AFFIRM; Opinion issued August 2, 2012

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. F10-63211-I, F11-70605-I

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices FitzGerald, Murphy, and Fillmore

Opinion By Justice Fillmore

A jury convicted Jerry Damon Powell of two burglary of a habitation offenses. The jury also found two enhancement paragraphs true in each case. The jury assessed punishment at seventy years' imprisonment in each case. On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal of each case 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 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.
