                               THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                      On Appeal from the 363rd Judicial District Court

                              MEMORANDUM OPINION
                         Before Justices Bridges, Francis, and Lang-Miers
                                    Opinion by Justice Francis
       Johnathon Ramey waived a jury trial and pleaded guilty to two felony assault family

violence offenses.    After finding appellant guilty, the trial court assessed punishment at

imprisonment for six years in each case. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed briefs in which he

concludes the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. The briefs meet the requirements

of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The briefs present 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, 812 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978) (determining whether brief meets

requirements of Anders). Counsel delivered a copy of the briefs 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 briefs. 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

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.
