KENNETH WILEY,

Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,

Appellee

From the 52nd District Court

Coryell County, Texas

Trial Court Nos. FO-14-22332, FO-14-22333, FO-14-22334, 

FO-14-22335 and FO-14-22336

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant Kenneth Wiley made open pleas of guilty to five separate indictments,

each alleging possession of child pornography. After a punishment hearing, the trial 

court sentenced Appellant to seven years in prison in each case, to be served 

consecutively. These appeals ensued. We will affirm.
Wiley v. State Page 2

In accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 

(1967), in each case Appellant’s court-appointed appellate counsel filed a brief and

motion to withdraw, stating that his review of the records yielded no grounds of error 

upon which an appeal can be predicated. Counsel’s briefs meet the requirements of 

Anders; they present a professional evaluation demonstrating why there are no arguable 

grounds to advance on appeal. See In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 407 n.9 (Tex. Crim. 

App. 2008) (“In Texas, an Anders brief need not specifically advance ‘arguable’ points of 

error if counsel finds none, but it must provide record references to the facts and 

procedural history and set out pertinent legal authorities.”); Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 

503, 510 n.3 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). In compliance with High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 813 

(Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978), Appellant’s counsel has carefully discussed why, 

under controlling authority, there is no reversible error in the trial court’s judgments. 

Counsel has informed us that he has: (1) examined the records and found no arguable 

grounds to advance on appeal; (2) served a copy of each brief and motion to withdraw 

on Appellant; and (3) provided Appellant with a copy of the records and informed him 

of his right to file a pro se response. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744, 87 S.Ct. at 1400; Stafford, 

813 S.W.2d at 510 n.3; see also Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 409 n.23. Appellant did not file a 

pro se response.

Upon receiving an Anders brief, we must conduct a full examination of all the 

proceedings to determine whether the case is wholly frivolous. Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 

75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 349-50, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988). We have reviewed the records and 

counsel’s briefs and have found nothing that would arguably support an appeal. See 
Wiley v. State Page 3

Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005); Stafford, 813 S.W.2d at 509. 

Accordingly, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.

Appellant’s attorney has moved to withdraw as counsel for Appellant in each case. 

See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744, 87 S.Ct. at 1400; see also Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 408 n.17. We 

grant counsel’s motions to withdraw. Within five days of the date of this opinion, counsel 

is ordered to send a copy of this opinion and this Court’s judgments to Appellant and to 

advise him of his right to file a petition for discretionary review in each case.

1 New appellate counsel will not be appointed for Appellant. Should Appellant wish to seek further review 

of this case by the Court of Criminal Appeals, he must either retain an attorney to file a petition for 

discretionary review or must file a pro se petition for discretionary review. Any petition for discretionary 

review must be filed within thirty days from the date of this opinion or from the date the last timely motion 

for rehearing was overruled by this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2. Any petition for discretionary review 

must be filed with the Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals. See id. at R. 68.3. Any petition for 

discretionary review should comply with the requirements of rule 68.4 of the Texas Rules of Appellate 

Procedure. See id. at R. 68.4; see also Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 409 n.22.
