DIMITRI DEWAYNE RICHARDSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F15-39252-R, F15-55162-R
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Myers, Stoddart, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Whitehill
Dimitri Dewayne Richardson waived a jury and pleaded guilty to burglary of a habitation
and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 29.03(a)(2),
30.02(a), (c)(2) (West 2011). Appellant also pleaded true to one enhancement paragraph in each
case. After finding appellant guilty and the enhancement paragraph true, the trial court
sentenced appellant to twenty years’ imprisonment in each case. On appeal, appellant’s attorney
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 (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 appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably
support the appeals.
We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
