Affirm and Opinion Filed October 6, 2014
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-01524-CR
TONY ANTHONY JOHNSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 6
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F10-11121-X
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Francis and Myers
Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
Tony Anthony Johnson appeals from the adjudication of his guilt for forgery by check.
See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 32.21(b), (d) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at
three 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 his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se
response. See Kelly v. State, 2014 WL 2865901 (Tex. Crim. App. June 25, 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.
