STACEY TALON GRANT, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
AFFIRM and Opinion Filed January 4, 2012
On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F10-61040-R
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, O'Neill, and Fillmore
Opinion By Justice O'Neill
Stacey Talon Grant waived a jury and pleaded guilty to evading arrest or detention. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 38.04(a) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment, enhanced by a prior evading arrest conviction, at fifteen months' confinement in state jail. 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 (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. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (court of appeals's duty is to determine whether there are any arguable issues, and, if so, to remand the case to the trial court so that new counsel may be appointed to address those issues). 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.
