DARREN RANDLE, Appellant

 

V.

 

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 

On Appeal from the 232nd District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 1151886 & 1151884

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered guilty pleas to burglary of a habitation with intent to commit theft and theft of a firearm.  After a pre-sentence investigation, on July 11, 2008, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for five years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in the burglary case and one year in the State Jail Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in the theft case, with the sentences to be served concurrently.  Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal in each case.


Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes these appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the records and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811-12 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

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

We have carefully reviewed the records and counsel=s brief and agree the 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.  We are not to address the merits of each claim raised in an Anders brief or a pro se response when we have determined there are no arguable grounds for review.  See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

Accordingly, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
