FROM THE 110TH DISTRICT COURT OF FLOYD COUNTY;
NO. 4363; HONORABLE WILLIAM P. SMITH, JUDGE
_______________________________
Before CAMPBELL and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Robert Lopez, III, was convicted, in a two count indictment, of aggravated
robbery, Count I, and burglary of a habitation with intent to commit theft, Count II.
Appellant was sentenced to 45 years confinement on Count I and 20 years confinement
on Count II , all within the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice,
with all sentences to be served concurrently. It is from this judgment that appellant
appeals. We will affirm.
Appellant’s attorney has filed an Anders brief and a motion to withdraw. Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 498 (1967); In re Schulman, 252
S.W.3d 403 (Tex.Crim.App. 2008). In support of his motion to withdraw, counsel certifies
that he has diligently reviewed the record, and in his opinion, the record reflects no
reversible error upon which an appeal can be predicated. Anders, 386 U.S. at 744-45. In
compliance with High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 813 (Tex.Crim.App. 1978), counsel has
candidly discussed why, under the controlling authorities, there is no error in the trial court’s
judgment. Additionally, counsel has certified that he has provided appellant a copy of the
Anders brief and motion to withdraw and appropriately advised appellant of his right to file
a pro se response in this matter. Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex.Crim.App.
1991). The court has also advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response.
Appellant has not filed a response.
By his Anders brief, counsel raises grounds that could possibly support an appeal,
but concludes the appeal is frivolous. We have reviewed these grounds and made an
independent review of the entire record to determine whether there are any arguable
grounds which might support an appeal. See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 109 S.Ct. 346,
102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988); Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). We
have found no such arguable grounds and agree with counsel that the appeal is frivolous.
2
Accordingly, counsel’s motion to withdraw is hereby granted and the trial court’s
judgment is affirmed.1
