Curtis, Lydia L. v. State

Opinion

Affirm and Opinion Filed September 27, 2013

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-12-00032-CR LYDIA L. CURTIS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 401st Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 401-82230-08 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Fillmore, and Lewis Opinion by Justice Bridges Lydia L. Curtis waived a jury and pleaded not guilty to evading arrest or detention while using a motor vehicle. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 38.04(a), (b)(1)(B) (West Supp. 2012).

After finding appellant guilty, the trial court assessed punishment at four 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 (Tex. Crim.

App. [Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant.

Appellant filed a pro se response raising several issues After reviewing counsel’s brief, appellant’s pro se response, and the record, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit.

See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s duty in Anders cases). We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
