LARRY SCORPIO SINGLETARY, Appellant

 

V.

 

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 

On Appeal from the 339th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 931,614 & 932,121

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered pleas of guilty to two indictments alleging offenses of aggravated robbery.  The trial court found the evidence sufficient to support a finding of guilt in each cause and ordered a pre-sentence investigation.  On August 18, 2003, the trial court considered the evidence on punishment and sentenced appellant to confinement for forty years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal for both cases.


Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes these appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit.  Counsel=s brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967), presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

A copy of counsel=s brief was delivered to appellant.  Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response in each case.  See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  More than sixty days have passed, and as of this date, no pro se response has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the records and counsel=s brief and agree these appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit.  Further, we find no reversible error in the records.  A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state.

Accordingly, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
