On Appeal from the 204th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F13-71006-Q

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Bridges, Lang-Miers, and Schenck Opinion by Justice Bridges

A jury convicted Sheyenne Nicole Liles of compelling prostitution of a child younger than eighteen years of age and assessed punishment at eighteen years’ imprisonment. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 43.05(a)(2) (West Supp. 2015). On appeal, appellant’s attorney 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 (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. 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).

Appellant filed a pro se response raising several issues After reviewing counsel’s brief, appellant’s pro se response, and the record, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
