On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 5
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F09-12092-L, F09-12093-L
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Fillmore, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Fillmore
Demarcus Jermane Sampson appeals his convictions, following the adjudication of his
guilt, for engaging in organized criminal activity. The trial court assessed punishment at twenty-
five years’ imprisonment in each case. On appeal, Sampson’s attorney filed a brief in which he
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 Sampson. We advised Sampson of his right to file a pro se response, but he 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 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 adjudicating guilt.
