Matthew Leon Hill v. State ( 2014 )

Affirmed and Opinion Filed June 16, 2014
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-01067-CR
MATTHEW LEON HILL, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-24655-J
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Myers and Evans
Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
A jury convicted Matthew Leon Hill of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and
assessed punishment, enhanced by a prior felony conviction, at twenty years’ imprisonment. See
TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 46.04(a) (West 2011). 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 (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 record 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
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.
