AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed October 29, 2015. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-15-00523-CR No. 05-15-00524-CR LADARREAN LOFFEYETTE WILLIAMS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. F15-51035-J, F13-61695-J MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang-Miers, Brown, and Schenck Opinion by Justice Brown LaDarrean Loffeyette Williams was convicted, following the adjudication of his guilt, of assault involving family violence, with a prior assault involving family violence conviction (cause no. 05-15-00524-CR), and a new offense of assault involving family violence by impeding the breath, having a prior assault involving family violence conviction (cause no. 0515-00523-CR). See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 22.01(a)(1), (b)(2), (b-1) (West 2011); TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 71.0021, 71.005 (West 2008 & Supp. 2014). The trial court assessed punishment at five years’ imprisonment in cause no. 05-15-00524-CR and ten years’ imprisonment in cause no. 05-15-00523-CR. 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 do so. 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. /Ada Brown/ ADA BROWN JUSTICE Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP.
