DANNY AUSTIN KAY, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Opinion By Justice Bridges
Danny Austin Kay appeals the adjudication of his guilt for kidnapping and unlawful possession of a controlled substance. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 20.03 (Vernon 2003); Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.115 (Vernon 2010). 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 (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 records and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824 (Tex.Crim.App.2005). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in either record that might arguably support the appeal.
We affirm the trial court's judgment.
