AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed June 18, 2014.

                                            In The

                             THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                     On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 1
                                   Dallas County, Texas
                     Trial Court Cause Nos. F06-15900-H, F13-12202-H

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                          Before Justices Fillmore, Evans, and Lewis
                                  Opinion by Justice Lewis

       Miguel Arnoldo Peralta was convicted of felony assault resulting in bodily injury and

involving family violence and burglary of a habitation. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 22.01(a),

30.02(a) (West 2011); TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 71.0021, 71.005 (West 2008 & Supp. 2013).

The trial court assessed punishment, following the revocation of appellant’s community

supervision, at ten years’ imprisonment on the assault case. The trial court assessed punishment

at twelve years’ imprisonment on the burglary case. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief

in which she 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 (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 records 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

appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the records that might arguably

support the appeals.

       We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
