RONDA KAY LESTER, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F08-52578-M

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Moseley, Fillmore, Myers Opinion By Justice Myers

Ronda Kay Lester appeals the adjudication of her guilt for aggravated robbery with a deadly

weapon, a knife. See TEx. PENAL CODE ANN. § 29.03(a) (West 201 1). The trial court assessed

punishment at ten years’ imprisonment. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which she

concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of

Anders v. Califàrnia, 386 U.s. 738 (1967). The briefpresents 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.

Appellant filed a pro se response raising several issues. A court of appeals is not required to address the merits o[ claims raised in a pro se response. See Bledsoe v. Siate, 178 S.W3d 824,

827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). Rather, the Court’s

duty is to determine whether there are any arguable issues, and, if so, to remand the case to the trial

court so that new counsel may be appointed to address those issues. Id.

After reviewing counsel’s brief, appellant’s pro se response, and the record, we agree the

appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the

appeal.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment adjudicating guilt.
