Affirmed and Memorandum Opinion filed May 1, 2014.
In The
Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-13-00611-CR
EDWIN RIOS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 248th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1346431
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant entered a plea of guilty to assault of a public servant in exchange
for deferred adjudication community supervision. On April 18, 2013, the State
filed a motion to adjudicate appellant’s guilt because he committed an additional
offense of fleeing from a police officer in a motor vehicle. On June 27, 2013, the
trial court adjudicated appellant’s guilt and sentenced him to confinement for two
years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal.
Appellant’s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal
is 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 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. See Stafford
v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). As of this date, more than
forty-five days has passed and no pro se response has been filed.
We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree the
appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in
the record. 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 judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Jamison, and McCally.
