CHARLIE FRANK SIMPSON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 183rd District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1423393

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Charlie Frank Simpson appeals his conviction for aggravated assault. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.02 (West 2011). Appellant's appointed counsel filed a brief concluding the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (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, 811-13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant. Appellant was advised of his right to inspect the appellate record and file a pro se response to the brief. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). Appellant notified this court in August 2017 that he intended to file a pro se response. 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 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 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 trial court's judgment is affirmed.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Busby, Brown, and Jewell. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
