ARMANDO FERMIN SOTO, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Affirmed; Opinion Filed November 28, 2012.
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F10-19502-H, F10-19503-H
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Richter, Lang-Miers, and Myers
Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
A jury convicted Armando Fermin Soto of two intoxication manslaughter offenses and assessed punishment at twenty years' imprisonment and a $ 10,000 fine in each case. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 49.08(a) (West 2011). The trial court granted the State's motion to cumulate the sentences and ordered the sentences to run consecutively. On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which she 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 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.
