                              THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                      On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3
                                   Dallas County, Texas

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

       A jury convicted Allen Ho of two aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon offenses.

The trial court rendered judgment sentencing Ho to fifteen years’ imprisonment in each case.

See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 29.03(a)(2) (West 2011). On appeal, Ho’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, 811–12 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a

copy of the brief to Ho. We advised Ho of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a
pro se response.     See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App. 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). We agree the appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find

nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeals.

       We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
