Patrick Lee Bullock v. State

Opinion

Affirmed and Opinion Filed December 1, 2015

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00561-CR PATRICK LEE BULLOCK, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 199th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 199-81611-2013 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Fillmore and Stoddart Opinion by Chief Justice Wright Patrick Lee Bullock waived a jury and pleaded guilty to online solicitation of a minor.

See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 33.021(c) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at ten year’s 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.
