Affirmed; Opinion Filed June 28, 2016.

                                             In The
                                Court of Appeals
                         Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

                              THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                      On Appeal from the 363rd Judicial District Court
                                   Dallas County, Texas

                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                         Before Justices Lang-Miers, Evans, and Brown
                                   Opinion by Justice Evans
       A jury convicted Percy King of continuous violence against the family. See TEX. PENAL

CODE ANN. § 25.11(a) (West 2011). After finding two enhancement paragraphs true, the jury

assessed punishment at forty years’ imprisonment. 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) (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.
