NO. A-07-0037-S, HONORABLE JAY K. WEATHERBY, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Robert Bryan Reeves was convicted of burglary of a habitation with intent
to commit theft, enhanced by one prior felony conviction, and was sentenced to ten years’
imprisonment. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 30.02 (West 2003). Appellant’s appointed attorney has
filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. See Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738, 743-44 (1967). Appellant has filed a pro se brief complaining that the evidence does
not show that the structure in question was a habitation. We affirm the judgment of conviction.
We have considered the record, counsel’s brief, and appellant’s pro se brief and we
agree with counsel that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d
824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).1 We overrule appellant’s sole issue on appeal and affirm the

The court of criminal appeals in Bledsoe v. State held:
When faced with an Anders brief and if a later pro se brief is filed, the court of
appeals has two choices. It may determine that the appeal is wholly frivolous and

error. Or, it may determine that arguable grounds for appeal exist and remand the
judgment of conviction. We grant counsel’s motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment
of conviction.2

No substitute counsel will be appointed. Should appellant wish to seek further review of
his case by the court of criminal appeals, he must either retain an attorney to file a petition for
discretionary review or file a pro se petition for discretionary review. See generally Tex. R. App.
P. 68-79 (governing proceedings in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals). Any petition for
discretionary review must be filed within thirty days from the date of either this opinion or the date
this Court overrules the last timely motion for rehearing filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 68.2. The
petition must be filed with this Court, after which it will be forwarded to the court of criminal
appeals along with the rest of the filings in the cause. See Tex. R. App. P. 68.3, 68.7. Any petition
for discretionary review should comply with rules 68.4 and 68.5 of the rules of appellate procedure.
See Tex. R. App. P. 68.4, 68.5.
