Angel Humberto Garcia v. the State of Texas

Opinion

Affirmed and Memorandum Opinion filed December 14, 2021.

In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-19-00933-CR ANGEL HUMBERTO GARCIA, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 208th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1566111 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant appeals his conviction by a jury for the offense of failure to stop and render aid following a motor vehicle accident involving the complainant’s death and the jury’s assessment of punishment at confinement for 14 years.

Appellant’s appointed counsel 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), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–13 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

A copy of counsel’s brief was delivered to appellant. Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). As of this date, more than days have passed and no pro se response has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we conclude there is no structural error or reversible error in the judgment. 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).

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jewell, Spain, and Wilson.
