MARK THOMAS, JR., Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


AFFIRM; and Opinion filed February 27, 2014.

On Appeal from the 196th Judicial District Court

Hunt County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 27,514


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Before Justices FitzGerald, Fillmore, and Evans

Opinion by Justice Fillmore

Mark Thomas, Jr. appeals following the adjudication of his guilt for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.02(a) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at fourteen years' imprisonment. On appeal, Thomas'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 Thomas. We advised Thomas 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.
