V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

Trial Court Cause Nos. F10-58307-I, F10-59679-I, F10-60886-I
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Moseley, O’Neill, and FitzGerald
Opinion by Justice FitzGerald
Richard Samuel Morales appeals from the adjudication of his guilt for assault resulting in
bodily injury and involving family violence, having a previous conviction for assault involving
family violence; aggravated sexual assault with a deadly weapon; and aggravated kidnapping
with a deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. §§ 20.04(b), 22.01(a), 22.021(a)(1)(A)(i)
(West 2011 & Supp. 2013); TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. §§ 71.0021, 71.005 (West 2008 & Supp.
2013). The trial court assessed punishment at ten years’ imprisonment on the assault conviction
and thirty years’ imprisonment on the aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping
convictions. 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 (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.
We have reviewed the records and counsel’s brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824,
827 (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 records that might arguably
support the appeals.
We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
