AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed September 30, 2013. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-12-01310-CR RYAN EUGENE CROOK, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 4 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F11-70359-K MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices O Neill, Lang-Miers, and Evans Opinion by Justice O Neill Ryan Eugene Crook appeals from the adjudication of his guilt for assault involving family violence. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.01(a) (West 2011); TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 71.0021, 71.005 (West 2008 & Supp. 2012). The trial court assessed punishment at ten years imprisonment. 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, 573 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 pro se response, but he did not file a pro se 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 find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. We affirm the trial court s judgment. /Michael J. O'Neill/ MICHAEL J.
