Luke Myers, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee (2011)

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

Luke Myers pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated robbery and one count of evading arrest or detention with a vehicle, and pleaded true to enhancement allegations.   He did not have an agreement as to punishment.   After a hearing on punishment, the trial court assessed sentence of concurrent prison terms of fifty years for aggravated robbery and twenty years for evading arrest.

Appellant's court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel supported by a brief concluding that this appeal is frivolous and without merit.   The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the records demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.   See Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988);  High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Crim.App.1978);  Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex.Crim.App.1974);  Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex.Crim.App.1972);  Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex.Crim.App.1969).   Appellant received a copy of counsel's brief and was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief.   See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744.   No pro se brief has been filed and no extension of time to file a pro se brief has been requested.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.   See Garner v. State, 300 S.W.3d 763, 766 (Tex.Crim.App.2009);  Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex.Crim.App.2005).   We agree with counsel that this appeal is frivolous.   Counsel's motion to withdraw is granted.   The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
