JASON RAY SMITH, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


AFFIRM; and Opinion filed October 30, 2013.

On Appeal from the 204th Judicial District Court

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F08-14302-Q


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices Moseley, Lang, and Brown

Opinion by Justice Brown

Jason Ray Smith appeals from the adjudication of his guilt for burglary of a habitation. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 30.02(a) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at eight years' 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.
