No. 05-13-01492-CR
JUAN JOSHIOS ORTIZ, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 429th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 429-82027-09, 429-82280-09
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Myers, and Lewis
Opinion by Justice Myers
Juan Joshios Ortiz waived a jury and pleaded guilty to two charges of aggravated robbery
with a deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 29.03(a)(2) (West 2011). The trial court
assessed punishment at eighteen years’ imprisonment in each case. On appeal, appellant’s
attorney filed a brief in which she concludes the appeals are 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 appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably
support the appeals.
We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
