Edward Derell Harmon v. State ( 2014 )

Affirmed and Opinion Filed June 17, 2014
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-01587-CR
EDWARD DERELL HARMON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F13-54013-I
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Francis, and Lang-Miers
Opinion by Justice Francis
Edward Derell Harmon waived a jury and pleaded guilty to possession with intent to
deliver cocaine in an amount of four grams or more but less than 200 grams. The trial court
assessed punishment, enhanced by two prior convictions, at imprisonment for twenty-five years.
On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which he 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 (Tex. Crim. App.
[Panel Op.] 1978). Counsel delivered a copy of the brief to appellant.
Appellant filed a pro se response raising several issues After reviewing counsel’s brief,
appellant’s pro se response, and the record, we agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit.
See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate court’s
duty in Anders cases). We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
