GERARD MONTRELL PERRY, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 4
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F16-11984-K, F16-11985-K, F16-11986-K
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang, Myers, and Stoddart
Opinion by Justice Myers
Appellant Gerard Montrell Perry waived a jury trial and pleaded guilty to evading arrest;
aggravated assault of a public servant with a deadly weapon, a motor vehicle; and abandonment
of a child. After finding appellant guilty, the trial court assessed punishment at ten years’
imprisonment for evading arrest, fifteen years’ imprisonment for aggravated assault of a public
servant, and two years’ confinement in state jail for abandonment of a child. 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.
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
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.
