Danny Cisco Gonzales v. State

Affirmed and Opinion Filed January 26, 2018

Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-17-00188-CR
DANNY CISCO GONZALES, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F16-53967-R
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Francis, Evans, and Boatright
Opinion by Justice Francis
Danny Cisco Gonzales waived a jury and pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery with a
deadly weapon, a firearm. After finding appellant guilty, the trial court sentenced him to fifteen
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, 812 (Tex.
Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978) (determining whether brief meets requirements of Anders).
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) (noting appellant has right to file pro se response to Anders brief filed by
counsel).
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.
