Affirmed and Opinion Filed March 30, 2018 S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-17-00345-CR No. 05-17-00347-CR No. 05-17-00350-CR HURTIS DEVON WALKER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 366th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 366-81209-2016, 366-81210-2016, 366-81211-2016 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Evans, and Whitehill Opinion by Justice Bridges Hurtis Devon Walker waived a jury trial and pleaded guilty to two aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon offenses and one unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon (UPFF) offense. After finding appellant guilty, the trial court assessed punishment at fifteen years’ imprisonment for the aggravated robbery convictions and ten years’ imprisonment for the UPFF conviction. 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, 812 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978) (determining whether brief meets requirements of Anders). 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. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (noting appellant has right to file pro se response to Anders brief filed by counsel). 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. /David L. Bridges/ DAVID L. BRIDGES JUSTICE Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP.
