JERMAINE LEWIS, Appellant

 

V.

 

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 

On Appeal from the 252nd District Court

Jefferson County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 95157

 

 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant entered a plea of no contest to the offense of aggravated robbery.  Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, the trial court deferred adjudication and placed appellant on community supervision for ten years.  On June 2, 2010, the State moved to adjudicate appellant’s guilt.  On June 30, 2010, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for 15 years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a 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 requirement 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, 510 (Tex. (Tex. Crim. App.1991).  As of this date, 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.
