____________
DANIEL CAMARILLO SANTOS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 179th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 963348
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Daniel Camarillo Santos, pleaded guilty to the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon without an agreed punishment recommendation from the State. The trial court found appellant guilty and assessed his punishment at confinement for eight years and a $10,000 fine.
Appellant’s counsel on appeal has filed a brief stating that the record presents no reversible error, that the appeal is without merit and is frivolous, and that the appeal must be dismissed or affirmed. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967). The brief meets the requirements of Anders by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and detailing why there are no arguable grounds for reversal. Id. at 744, 87 S. Ct. at 1400; see also High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 810 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant and advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response. Appellant has filed a pro se brief, contending that his plea of guilty, rendered without the effective assistance of counsel, was not a voluntary and knowledgeable act. Having reviewed the record, counsel’s brief, and appellant’s pro se brief, we agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit and that there is no reversible error. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
