Curtis, Lydia L. v. State

Affirm and Opinion Filed September 27, 2013
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-12-00032-CR
LYDIA L. CURTIS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 401st Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 401-82230-08
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, Fillmore, and Lewis
Opinion by Justice Bridges
Lydia L. Curtis waived a jury and pleaded not guilty to evading arrest or detention while
using a motor vehicle. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 38.04(a), (b)(1)(B) (West Supp. 2012).
After finding appellant guilty, the trial court assessed punishment at four years’ 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 (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.
