CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL SANCHEZ, Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 177th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 958829, 954679, and 957071




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant, Christopher Michael Sanchez, without an agreed recommendation from the State, pleaded guilty to the felony offenses of (1) second-offender assault of a family member in cause number 958829, (2) aggravated assault in cause number 954679, and (3) theft in cause number 957071. After preparation of a presentence investigation report, the trial court assessed punishment at confinement for 12 years in the aggravated assault case and to 10 years in the assault and theft cases. We affirm.

               Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed briefs concluding that the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. The briefs meet the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds of error to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Moore v. State, 845 S.W.2d 352, 353 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, pet. ref’d).

               Counsel states in the briefs that copies were delivered to appellant, and that counsel advised appellant by letter of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). More than 30 days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief. We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel’s briefs. We find no reversible error in the record, and agree that the appeals are wholly frivolous.

               We affirm the judgments of the trial court.

                                                     PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Taft, Jennings, and Bland.
