Affirmed and Memorandum Opinion filed November 17, 2015.

                                    In The

                   Fourteenth Court of Appeals

                             NO. 14-15-00133-CR

                         JESSE SURGES, Appellant
                                      V.

                     THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                  On Appeal from the 337th District Court
                          Harris County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 1418410

                MEMORANDUM                    OPINION

      Appellant appeals his conviction for robbery–bodily injury. Appellant’s
appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeal is wholly
frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v.
California, 386 U.S. 738 (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, 811–13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).
      Copies of counsel’s brief and the record were 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, 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). As
of this date, more than 60 days have passed 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. 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.

                                       PER CURIAM
