                             THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                   On Appeal from the 283rd Judicial District Court
                                 Dallas County, Texas
      Trial Court Cause Nos. F09-55346-T, F13-60732-T, F13-60733-T, F13-72123-T

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                       Before Justices Francis, Lang-Miers, and Whitehill
                                Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers

       Reginald Keith Pink appeals his convictions for robbery, two aggravated robbery with a

deadly weapon offenses, and one aggravated assault on a public servant offense. See TEX.

PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 22.02(a)(2), 29.02(a)(2), 29.03(a)(2) (West 2011). The trial court assessed

punishment, enhanced by two prior felony convictions, at life imprisonment in each case. On

appeal, 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. We advised

appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a pro se response. 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 did, however, file several pro se motions.

        We have reviewed the record, counsel’s brief, and appellant’s pro se motions. See

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

duty in Anders cases). We agree the appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in

the record that might arguably support the appeals.

        Although not an arguable issue, we note the judgments in cause nos. 05-14-00877-CR

and 05-14-00879-CR do not correctly reflect appellant’s pleas to, nor the trial court’s findings

on, the enhancement paragraphs. In each case, appellant pleaded true to two enhancement

paragraphs alleging prior felony convictions, and the trial court found the enhancement

paragraphs true. The judgment adjudicating guilt in cause no. 05-14-00877-CR contains no

reference to the enhancement paragraphs and the judgment in cause no. 05-14-00879-CR states

“N/A” in the sections regarding the first enhancement paragraph. As a result, the judgments are

incorrect. Accordingly, we modify the judgment adjudicating guilt in cause no. 05-14-00877-CR

to show that appellant pleaded true to the first and second enhancement paragraphs and the trial

court found the paragraphs are true. We modify the trial court’s judgment in cause no. 05-14-

00879-CR to show appellant pleaded true to the first enhancement paragraph and the trial court

found the paragraph true. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(b); Bigley v. State, 865 S.W.2d 26, 27–28

(Tex. Crim. App. 1993); Asberry v. State, 813 S.W.2d 526, 529–30 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1991,

pet. ref'd).

                                                 -2-
       In cause nos. 05-14-00878-CR and 05-14-00880-CR, we affirm the trial court’s

judgments. In cause nos. 05-14-00877-CR and 05-14-00879-CR, we affirm the trial court’s

judgments as modified.
