                    Befire Chief Justice Wright and Justices Bridges and Myers
                                 Opinion By Chief Justice Wright

        Ervin Jeffrey Jones waived a jury and pleaded guilty to assault involving family violence.

with two prior assault-family violence convictions. See TEx. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.01(a) (West

2011). The trial court assessed punishment. enhanced by a prior felony conviction, at five 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 ofAnders v. cali/ornia, 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.j 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant. We advised appellant of his

right to tile a pro se response. but he did not file a pro se response.
       We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief See B/cc/soc v, Slate, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827

(Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate courts duty in .1nders 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.
