Affirmed and Memorandum Opinion filed August 26, 2014 In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-13-01146-CR JOE ROGERS PARKER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 248th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 0829249 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Joe Rogers Parker appeals from the trial court's denial of his motion for post-conviction DNA testing.1 Appellant s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirement of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 1 See also Parker v. State, 14-04-00873-CR, 2006 WL 2771809 (Tex. App. Houston [14th Dist.] Sept. 28, 2006, pet. ref d) (affirming trial court s denial of appellant s motion for post-conviction DNA testing). (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. (Tex. Crim. App.1991). The record was provided to appellant. On July 25, 2014, 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 appeal is 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 Chief Justice Frost and Justices Donovan and Brown. Do Not Publish Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
