Zachery Leatch v. State ( 2015 )

Affirmed and Opinion Filed July 29, 2015
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-01496-CR
ZACHERY LEATCH, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-51448-R
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Lang-Miers, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Whitehill
Zachery Leatch appeals his conviction, following the adjudication of his guilt, for
burglary of a habitation. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 30.02(a)(1) (West 2011). The trial court
assessed punishment at six years’ imprisonment. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in
which she 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 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 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 adjudicating guilt.
