HENRY WILSON THIGPEN, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 400th District Court

Fort Bend County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 43,893-A, 43,894-A, 43,895-A & 43,976-A

Appellant entered pleas of not guilty to the offenses of assault against a public servant, evading detention, assault of a family member, and family violence. After a jury found appellant guilty of these charges, on December 8, 2007, appellant was sentenced to confinement for thirty-five years, five years, fifty years and fifty years, respectively, in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, with the sentences to be served concurrently. Appellant filed a notice of appeal in each case.

Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967), presenting a professional evaluation of the record 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 records and file a pro se response. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). Appellant requested and was furnished a copy of the records in this case. Appellant was also granted an extension of time to file his pro se response. As of this date, any response is more than thirty days past due. No pro se response or request for further extension have been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the records and counsel=s brief and agree the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the records. A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state.

Accordingly, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
