AFFIRMED; Opinion Filed November 25, 2015. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-15-00427-CR No. 05-15-00428-CR No. 05-15-00429-CR HECTOR OMAR ROMERO, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 1 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. F12-71161-H, F12-71361-H, F12-71362-H MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Stoddart Opinion by Justice Evans Hector Omar Romero appeals his convictions, following the adjudication of his guilt, for three offenses of third-degree-felony assault involving family violence.. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.01(a)(1), (b)(2)(A) (West Supp. 2015) (previous assault/family violence conviction); TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 71.0021, 71.005 (West 2014 & Supp. 2015). The trial court assessed punishment at eight 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. /s/ David Evans DAVID EVANS JUSTICE Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP.
