In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

No. 05-16-00011-CR

MARILYN ANNE WILLIAMS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 219th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 219-80697-2013

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Lang, Myers, and Evans Opinion by Justice Myers

Marilyn Anne Williams appeals her conviction, following adjudication of her guilt, for abandoning or endangering a child. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.041(b), (e) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at four years’ imprisonment. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which he 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 her right to file a pro se response, but she 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.
