Affirmed and Memorandum Opinion filed November 4, 2010. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-09-00911-CR NO. 14-09-00912-CR ____________ LARRY D. WILLIAMS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 178th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 1128148 & 1128149 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant entered pleas of guilty to two counts of aggravated robbery. On October 23, 2009, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for 60 years in prison for each offense. The court ordered appellant s sentences to run concurrently. Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal. Appellant s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirement of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and 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). On October 8, 2010, appellant filed a pro se response to counsel s brief. We have carefully reviewed the record, counsel s brief, and appellant s response, and agree the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error in the record. A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state. We are not to address the merits of each claim raised in an Anders brief or a pro se response when we have determined there are no arguable grounds for review. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827 28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Frost, and Brown. Do Not Publish Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
