Trial Court Cause Nos. F09-58630-Y, F11-60044-Y

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Myers and Brown Opinion by Chief Justice Wright

LaDerek Kinte Reynolds appeals his convictions, following the revocation of his community supervision and adjudication of his guilt, for unlawful possession of a firearm by felon and assault involving family violence. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 22.01(a)(1), (b)(2)(B), 46.04(a)(1), (e) (West 2011 & Supp. 2015); TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 71.0021, 71.005 (West 2014 & Supp. 2015). The trial court assessed punishment at four years’ imprisonment in each case. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which she 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 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.
