Norma Jean Sanchez, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee (2015)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant entered a plea of guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without an agreed recommendation on punishment.   Appellant entered a plea of “true” to an enhancement paragraph and on September 18, 2014, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for thirty years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.   Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal.

Appellant's appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.   The brief meets the requirement of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.   See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex.Crim.App.1978).

A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant.   Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response.   See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 512 (Tex.Crim.App.1991).   At appellant's request, the record was provided to her.   As of this date, no response has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.   Further, we find no reversible error in the record.   A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state.   We are not to address the merits of each claim raised in an Anders brief or a pro se response when we have determined there are no arguable grounds for review.   See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827–28 (Tex.Crim.App.2005).

Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
