V.

Dallas County, Texas 

Trial Court Cause Nos. F10-01183-J, F10-01184-J 

MEMORANDUM OPINION 

Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Stoddart 

Opinion by Justice Francis 

Senrick Shern Wilkerson was convicted of sexual performance by a child and sexual 

assault of a child in December 2010. The trial court assessed punishment at eight years in prison 

in each case. This Court affirmed appellant’s convictions on direct appeal.1

Wilkerson v. State, Nos. 05-11-00061-CR, 05-11-00062-CR (Tex. App.—Dallas July 16, 2012, 

pet. ref’d) (not designated for publication). Appellant filed a motion for post-conviction DNA 

testing in August 2013. The State responded that appellant’s claim he would not have been

 Appellant was also convicted of compelling prostitution, which was also affirmed on direct appeal. Wilkerson v. State, No. 05-11-00060-CR 

(Tex. App.––Dallas July 16., 2012, pet. history) (not designated for publication) That conviction is not included in the appeals from the trial 

court’s order denying appellant’s motion for post-conviction DNA testing.

convicted if exculpatory results had been obtained through DNA testing was without merit, as 

was appellant’s claim that identity was and is an issue in these cases. On October 8, 2013, the 

trial court denied appellant’s motion for post-conviction DNA testing stating identity is not and 

was not an issue and the State’s possessed no evidence that could have been subjected to DNA 

testing. This appeal followed. 

Appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which he concludes the appeals are wholly frivolous 

and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 

(1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there 

are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–12 (Tex. Crim. 

App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. See Kelly v. State, 

436 S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014) (identifying duties of appellate courts and 

counsel in Anders cases). 

 Appellant filed a pro se response raising several issues. After reviewing counsel’s brief, 

appellant’s pro se response, and the record, we agree the appeals are frivolous and without merit. 

See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate 

court’s duty in Anders cases). We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the 

appeals of appellant’s request for DNA testing. 

 We affirm the trial court’s order denying the motion for post-conviction DNA testing.
