DAVID SCOTT HELFOND, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 263rd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 376,058
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
Appellant David S. Helfond appeals from the denial of his request for post-conviction DNA forensic evidence testing under art. 64.03 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.
Appellant's appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App.1978).
A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant. Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App.1991). Appellant has been afforded a reasonable time to request the record and file a pro se response, but as of this date, no record request or pro se response has been filed.
We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the record.
Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
