V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 7
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F13-52718-Y, F13-52719-Y
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Myers and Brown
Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
A jury convicted Roy Curtis Stuart, Jr. of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and
possession with intent to deliver heroin in an amount less than one gram. See TEX. PENAL CODE
ANN. § 46.04(a) (West 2011); TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 481.112(a), (b) (West
2010). The jury found two enhancement paragraphs true in each case, and assessed punishment
at forty-five years’ imprisonment on the firearms offense and twenty years’ imprisonment on the
heroin offense.
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. 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).
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 appeals are 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
appeals.
We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
