THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 204th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. F19-41655-Q, F19-39551-Q, F19-21062-Q, F19-39500-Q, F19-32492-Q, F19-21065-Q, F19-21061-Q, F19-21063-Q, F19-39514-Q, F19-21354-Q, F19-41595-Q, F19-39498-Q, & F19-39499-Q.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Myers, Osborne, and Carlyle Opinion by Justice Carlyle Sammy Ray Fletcher waived a jury and entered guilty pleas to ten counts of

theft, two counts of robbery, and one count of burglary of a building. The trial court found him guilty and sentenced him to ten years’ imprisonment in each case, to run

concurrently.

Fletcher’s attorney has filed a brief in which she concludes Fletcher’s appeals

are wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of

Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), because it presents a professional

evaluation of the record and shows why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to

advance on appeal. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel

Op.] 1978). Counsel appears to have delivered a copy of the brief to Fletcher, and

we advised him of his right to file a pro se response, which he did not do. See Kelly

v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).

Having reviewed the record and counsel’s brief, see Bledsoe v. State, 178

S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005), we agree with counsel’s conclusion

that any issues would be frivolous and without merit, having found nothing in the

record that might arguably support them.

We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
