In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-00108-CR
No. 05-15-00109-CR
ALEXIS MURILLO, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F13-62149-U, F13-62223-U
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Brown, and Schenck
Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
Alexis Murillo waived a jury and pleaded guilty to sexual assault and aggravated
kidnapping. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 20.04(b), 22.011(a)(1) (West 2011). The trial court
assessed punishment at ten year’s imprisonment on the sexual assault and fifteen years’
imprisonment on the aggravated kidnapping. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in
which she 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 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 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.
