AFFIRMED; Opinion Filed October 20, 2014.
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00193-CR
PATRICIA ANN SMITH, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 363rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-49176-W
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Lang, and Evans
Opinion by Justice Lang
Patricia Ann Smith waived a jury and pleaded guilty to obtaining a controlled substance,
dihydrocodeinone, by fraud. See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 481.129(a-1), (d-1)(2)
(West Supp. 2014). The trial court assessed punishment at ten years’ imprisonment. On appeal,
appellant’s attorney 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 (1967).
The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no
arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–12 (Tex. Crim. App.
[Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of
her right to file a pro se response, but she did not file a pro se response. See Kelly v. State, 436
S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in
Anders cases).
We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824,
826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We agree
the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably
support the appeal.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
