Motion Granted; Affirmed and Memorandum Opinion filed May 11, 2021. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-20-00040-CR RODNELL HERBERT TURNER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 337th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1605839 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant appeals his conviction for compelling prostitution. Appellant’s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit, accompanied by a motion to withdraw. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (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, 811–13 (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, 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). At appellant’s request, the record was provided to him. Appellant filed no response to counsel’s brief. 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. 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). The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Bourliot and Hassan. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
