AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed November 1, 2018. In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00275-CR No. 05-18-00276-CR CARA DAWN YORK, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 380th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 380-81346-2014, 380-80223-2011 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang, Fillmore, and Schenck Opinion by Justice Schenck Appellant Cara Dawn York appeals two convictions, following the adjudication of her guilt, for possession of methamphetamine in an amount of less than one gram. The trial court assessed punishment at confinement in the state jail for 180 days in each case. 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 her right to file a pro se response, but she did not file any 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 judgment adjudicating guilt in each case. /David J. Schenck/ DAVID J. SCHENCK JUSTICE Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP.
