THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. F15-39252-R, F15-55162-R

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Myers, Stoddart, and Whitehill Opinion by Justice Whitehill Dimitri Dewayne Richardson waived a jury and pleaded guilty to burglary of a habitation

and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 29.03(a)(2),

30.02(a), (c)(2) (West 2011). Appellant also pleaded true to one enhancement paragraph in each

case. After finding appellant guilty and the enhancement paragraph true, the trial court

sentenced appellant to twenty years’ imprisonment in each case. On appeal, appellant’s attorney

filed a brief in which he concludes the appeals are 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

2

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 appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably

support the appeals.

We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
