V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 5
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F15-54229-L, F15-56573-L, F15-71388-L, F15-71389-L
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang, Brown, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Lang
Anthony Maurice Humphrey waived a jury trial and pleaded guilty to aggravated assault
with a deadly weapon, aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, compelling prostitution of a
child younger than eighteen years, and trafficking a person younger than eighteen years for
prostitution. After finding appellant guilty of all four offenses, the trial court assessed
punishment at thirty years’ imprisonment for the aggravated robbery conviction and twenty
years’ imprisonment each for the aggravated assault, compelling prostitution, and trafficking
convictions. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 20A.02(b), 22.02(b), 29.03(b), 43.05(b) (West 2011
& Supp. 2017). 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, 812 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978) (determining whether brief meets requirements of
Anders). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. 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).
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.
Although not an arguable issue, we note a few clerical errors in the trial court’s
judgments. The record shows the attorney representing the State during the plea hearing was
Brooke Grona-Robb, and Hilary Wright was the attorney representing the State during the
sentencing hearing. The trial court’s judgments incorrectly recite only Brooke Grona-Robb
represented the State. Additionally, the record shows appellant entered open guilty pleas to the
charges in the indictments in each case. The trial court’s judgments, however, incorrectly state
terms of plea bargain agreements. Accordingly, on our own motion, we modify each judgment
as follows: (1) the section entitled “attorney for state” is “Brooke Grona-Robb and Hilary
Wright,” and (2) the section entitled “terms of plea bargain” is “open.” TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(b);
Bigley v. State, 865 S.W.2d 26, 27–28 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993) (courts of appeals have authority
to modify a judgment); Estrada v. State, 334 S.W.3d 57, 63–64 (Tex. App.—Dallas 2009, no
pet.) (same).

As modified, we affirm the trial court’s judgments.
