Court of Appeals

No. 05-13-00912-CR
DARIN RAMONE THOMAS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 1
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-58074-H
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices O’Neill, Lang-Miers, and Brown
Opinion by Justice O’Neill
Darin Ramone Thomas waived a jury and pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery with a
deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 29.03(a)(2) (West 2011). The trial court assessed
punishment at fourteen years’ imprisonment. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in
which she 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. See Kelly v. State, 2014 WL 2865901 (Tex. Crim. App. June 25,
2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and counsel in Anders cases).
Appellant filed a pro se response raising several issues After reviewing counsel’s brief,
appellant’s pro se response, and the record, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit.
See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate
court’s duty in Anders cases). We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the
appeal.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
