AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed April 30, 2014.

                                             In The
                                  Court of Appeals
                           Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

                                  THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                       On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 1

                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION
                             Before Justices Lang, Myers, and Brown
                                    Opinion by Justice Brown

       A jury convicted Joseph Vann Hutchinson of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon

and assessed punishment at fourteen years’ imprisonment. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed

a brief in which she concludes the appeal is 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 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a

copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he

did not file a pro se response.
       We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824,

827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We agree the

appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support

the appeal.

       We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
