                                              In The
                                Court of Appeals
                         Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

                                STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                            Before Justices Lang, Myers, and Stoddart
                                     Opinion by Justice Lang
       A jury convicted Ray Garcia Reyes of sexual assault of a child and assessed punishment

at nine years’ imprisonment and a $5,000 fine. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in

which she 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, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–21 (Tex. Crim. App.

2014) (noting appellant has right to file pro se response to Anders brief filed by counsel).
       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.
