Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-16-00352-CR
EFREN ADAME TORRES, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 6
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 006-85957-2014
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Stoddart, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Schenck
A jury convicted Efren Adame Torres of theft of property valued at $50 or more but less
than $500 dollars. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 31.03(a), (e)(2)(A) (West Supp. 2015). The
trial court assessed punishment at confinement in the county jail for 120 days, probated for
fifteen months, and a $500 fine. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which she
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) (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 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.
