  • Motion Granted; Affirmed and Memorandum Opinion filed November 19,
    2013.
    In The
    Fourteenth Court of Appeals
    NOS. 14-13-00391-CR,
    14-13-00392-CR, &
    14-13-00393-CR
    LINT MOUTON, Appellant
    V.
    THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
    On Appeal from the 338th District Court
    Harris County, Texas
    Trial Court Cause Nos. 1335312, 1335313, & 1336543
    MEMORANDUM                         OPINION
    Appellant entered pleas of guilty, without an agreed recommendation on
    punishment, to three aggravated robbery charges. After a pre-sentence
    investigation, on April 3, 2013, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement
    for twenty years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal
    Justice in each ease, with the sentences to be served concurrently. Appellant filed a
    timely notice of appeal in each case.
    Appellant’s appointed counsel filed a brief in which she concludes these
    appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements
    of Anders v. California, 
    386 U.S. 738
    , 
    87 S. Ct. 1396
    (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
    (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
    sixty days has passed and no pro se response has been filed.
    We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel’s brief and agree the
    appeals are wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find no reversible error
    in the record. We need not 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).
    Accordingly, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
    PER CURIAM
    Panel consists of Justices McCally, Busby, and Wise.
