                              THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                      On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 6

                               MEMORANDUM OPINION
                   Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Francis and Myers
                                Opinion by Chief Justice Wright

       Tony Anthony Johnson appeals from the adjudication of his guilt for forgery by check.

See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 32.21(b), (d) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at

three years’ imprisonment. On appeal, appellant’s attorney 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). 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, 2014 WL 2865901 (Tex. Crim. App. June 25, 2014) (identifying

duties of appellate courts and counsel in Anders cases).

       We have reviewed the record and counsel’s brief. 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 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.
