TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-07-00502-CR Robert Bryan Reeves, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TOM GREEN COUNTY, 51ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. A-07-0037-S, HONORABLE JAY K. WEATHERBY, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant Robert Bryan Reeves was convicted of burglary of a habitation with intent to commit theft, enhanced by one prior felony conviction, and was sentenced to ten years imprisonment. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. ยง 30.02 (West 2003). Appellant s appointed attorney has filed a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 743-44 (1967). Appellant has filed a pro se brief complaining that the evidence does not show that the structure in question was a habitation. We affirm the judgment of conviction. We have considered the record, counsel s brief, and appellant s pro se brief and we agree with counsel that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826-27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).1 We overrule appellant s sole issue on appeal and affirm the 1 The court of criminal appeals in Bledsoe v. State held: When faced with an Anders brief and if a later pro se brief is filed, the court of appeals has two choices. It may determine that the appeal is wholly frivolous and issue an opinion explaining that it has reviewed the record and finds no reversible error. Or, it may determine that arguable grounds for appeal exist and remand the judgment of conviction. We grant counsel s motion to withdraw and affirm the judgment of conviction.2 ___________________________________________ David Puryear, Justice Before Justices Patterson, Puryear and Henson Affirmed Filed: September 18, 2008 Do Not Publish cause to the trial court so that new counsel may be appointed to brief the issues.
