Opinion issued October 2, 2008 In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas NOS. 01-07-01081-CR 01-07-01082-CR DANNY LEE HARRIS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 184th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1087357 and 1087358 MEMORANDUM OPINION A jury found appellant, Danny Lee Harris, guilty of two separate offenses of aggravated assault. The jury found true two enhancement paragraphs in each case and assessed punishment in both cases at confinement for 60 years. Appellant gave notice of appeal. We affirm. Appellant s counsel on appeal has filed a brief stating that the record in presents no reversible error, that the appeals are without merit and are frivolous, and that the appeals must be dismissed or affirmed. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967). The brief meets the requirements of Anders by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and detailing why there are no arguable grounds for reversal. Id. at 744, 87 S. Ct. at 1400; see also High v. State, 573 S.W. 2d 807, 810 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). Counsel represents that he has served a copy of the brief on appellant. Counsel also advised appellant of his right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). More than 30 days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief. Having reviewed the record and counsel s brief, we agree that these appeals are frivolous and without merit and that there is no reversible error. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 82627 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We affirm the judgments of the trial court and grant counsel s motions to 2 withdraw.1 PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Taft, Keyes, and Alcala. Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.4. 1 Appointed counsel still has a duty to inform appellant of the result of this appeal and that he may, on his own, pursue discretionary review in the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). 3
