DELVIN E. BRADFORD, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 174th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 1085154, 1085155
M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N
Appellant entered a plea of guilty to the offenses of attempted capital murder (Trial Court Cause No. 1085154, Appeal No. 14-07-00441-CR) and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver (Trial Court Cause No. 1085155, Appeal No. 14-07-00442-CR). On May 23, 2007, the trial court sentenced appellant in both causes to confinement for twenty-five years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The trial court ordered the sentences to run concurrently. Appellant filed a notice of appeal in both causes.
Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in which he concludes the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967), presenting a professional evaluation of the record in each cause demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).
A copy of counsel=s brief was delivered to appellant. Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate records and file a pro se response. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). At appellant=s request, the record in each cause was provided to him. On January 23, 2009, appellant filed a pro se response to counsel=s brief.
We have carefully reviewed the record in each cause and counsel=s brief, as well as appellant=s pro se response. We agree with counsel that the appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, in each cause we find no reversible error in the record. A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state. We are not to address the merits of each claim raised in an Anders brief or a pro se response when we have determined there are no arguable grounds for review. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827-28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
Accordingly, in each cause the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
