RENDRICK ANTHONY CHEEKS, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 232nd District Court Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1328385

MEMORANDUM OPINION A jury convicted appellant of burglary of a habitation. In accordance with the jury’s verdict, the trial court sentenced appellant on July 17, 2012, to confinement for thirty-five years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a pro se 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 requirements of Anders

v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), by 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). Appellant filed a pro se response to counsel’s brief.

We have carefully reviewed the record, counsel’s brief, and the pro se response, and we agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the record. We need not 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.
