Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-16-01348-CR
STONEY RAY ADAMS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 86th Judicial District Court
Kaufman County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 32300-86
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Fillmore, Whitehill, and Boatright
Opinion by Justice Boatright
Stoney Ray Adams appeals his conviction, following the adjudication of his guilt, for
sexual assault of a child. The trial court assessed punishment at twenty 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, 436
S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (noting appellant has right to file pro se response to
Anders brief filed by counsel).
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 adjudicating guilt.
