Patrick Lee Bullock v. State ( 2015 )

Affirmed and Opinion Filed December 1, 2015
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00561-CR
PATRICK LEE BULLOCK, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 199th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 199-81611-2013
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Fillmore and Stoddart
Opinion by Chief Justice Wright
Patrick Lee Bullock waived a jury and pleaded guilty to online solicitation of a minor.
See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 33.021(c) (West 2011). The trial court assessed punishment at ten
year’s 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.
