Appeals

NO. 14-09-00533-CR
____________
 
CEDRIC BROWN, Appellant
 
V.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
 
 

On Appeal from the 183rd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1179017
 
 
 

MEMORANDUM
OPINION
            Appellant entered a “guilty” plea to the offense of tampering
with a government record.  See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 37.10 (Vernon
Supp. 2009).  On May 27, 2009, the trial court sentenced appellant to five
years’ community supervision, and assessed a fine of $1,000.  Appellant filed a
timely notice of appeal.
            Appellant’s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he
concludes this appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets
the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396

(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating
why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See High v. State,
573 S.W.2d 807, 811–12 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).
            A copy of counsel’s brief was delivered to appellant. 
Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a
pro se response.  See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim.
App. 1991).  As of this date, more than 60 days has elapsed and no pro se
response has been filed.
            We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and
agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  Further, we find no
reversible error in the record.  A discussion of the brief would add nothing to
the jurisprudence of the state.  We are not to address the merits of each claim
raised in an Anders brief or a pro se response when we have determined
there are no arguable grounds for review.  See Bledsoe v. State, 178
S.W.3d 824, 827–28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
            Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
