In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-00256-CR
RICHARD GONZALES, JR., Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 199th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 199-82083-2012
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Lang-Miers, and Lewis
Opinion by Justice Francis
Richard Gonzales, Jr. waived a jury and pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery with a
deadly weapon, a firearm. The trial court assessed punishment at ten years in prison. 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.
