ADELI MEDINA CARRANZA, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 6th District Court Lamar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 26122

Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley2 

### MEMORANDUM OPINION

Following an open plea of guilty, Adeli Medina Carranza was convicted of unlawful

possession of a firearm and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. Carranza appeals. 1

Carranza’s attorney on appeal has filed a brief which states that he has reviewed the record

and has found no genuinely arguab le issues that could be raised. The brief sets out the procedural

history and summarizes the evidence elicited during the course of the proceeding s

. Meeting the

requirements of Anders v. California , counsel has provided a professional evaluation of the r ecord

demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced on appeal

386 U.S. 738, 743

– 44 (1967); In re Schulman , 252 S.W.3d 403, 406 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (orig.

proceeding); Stafford v. State , 813 S.W.2d 503, 509

– 10 (Te x. Crim. App. 199 1); High v. State

,

573 S.W.2d 807, 812

– 13 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel also filed a motion with

this Court seeking to withdraw as counsel in this appeal.

On December 14, 2015, c ounsel mailed Carranza cop ies of the brief

, the appellate record,

and the motion to withdraw . Carranza was informed of his right to review the record and file a

pro se response , and he requested an extension of time to do so. This Court granted Carranza’s

request and informed him that any pro se r esponse was due on February 15, 2016. Following a

second request for extension of time, which we granted, we informed Carranza that his pro se

response was due on or before March 16, 2016. To date, Carranza has not filed a pro se response. 2

1 In a companion case filed under our cause number case 06

- 15

- 00139

- CR, Carranza appeals his conviction of possession of more than one

, but less than four

, grams of methamphetamine in a drug

- free zone.

2 Carranza previously asked this Court for the appointment of new appellate counsel because his sentence “wa s base[d] on things that [Carranza] was not being charged with.” The record indicates that Carranza’s sentence in his companion case was enhanced following his plea of “ true ” to the State’s enhancement allegation.3

We have dete rmined that this appeal is wholly frivolous. We have independently reviewed

the clerk ’ s record and the reporter ’ s record, and we agree with counsel that no arguable issues

support an appeal. See Bledsoe v. State , 178 S.W.3d 824, 826

– 27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2 005).

W e affirm the trial court ’ s judgment. 3
