THE STATE OF TEXAS, AppeUee On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. Fll-56315-U MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Moseley, Francis, and Lang Opinion by Justice Francis Barbara Louise Bell waived a jury and pleaded guilty to delivery of dihydrocodeinone in an amount less than twenty-eight grams. See HEALrn & SAFETY CODE ANN. § 481.114(a), (b) (West 2010). The trial court assessed punishment, enhanced by a prior felony conviction, at imprisonment for ten years. On appeal, appellant's attorney filed a brief in which she 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, 513 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a prose response, but he did not file a prose response. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court's duty in Anders cases). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We fmd nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. We affirm the trial court's judgment. JUSTICE Do Not Publish TEx. R. APP.
