TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                     NO. 03-22-00024-CR

                                Carter Cole Bomer, Appellant

                                                v.

                                 The State of Texas, Appellee

               FROM THE 207TH DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY
          NO. CR2017-806, THE HONORABLE DIB WALDRIP, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appellant Carter Cole Bomer was convicted by a jury of first-degree murder and

sentenced by the trial court to fifty years’ confinement. See Tex. Penal Code. § 19.02(c).

               Appellant’s court-appointed attorney has filed a motion to withdraw supported by

a brief concluding that the appeal is frivolous and without merit.          The brief meets the

requirements of Anders v. California by presenting a professional evaluation of the record

demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967);

Garner v. State, 300 S.W.3d 763, 766 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009); see also Penson v. Ohio,

488 U.S. 75, 81–82 (1988). Appellant’s counsel has certified to this Court that he sent copies of

the motion and brief to appellant, advised appellant of his right to examine the appellate record

and file a pro se response, and provided a motion to assist appellant in obtaining the record. See
Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); see also Anders, 386 U.S. at

744. Appellant filed a pro se response on December 21, 2022.

                We have conducted an independent review of the record—including the record of

the trial and sentencing proceedings below, appellate counsel’s brief, and appellant’s pro se

response—and find no reversible error. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744; Garner, 300 S.W.3d at

766; Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We agree with counsel

that the record presents no arguably meritorious grounds for review, and the appeal is frivolous.

                Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. 1        The trial court’s judgment of

conviction is affirmed.
