DEREK LYNN JEFFERY, Appellant

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. F14-16488-R, F14-75920-R

MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Bridges, Lang-Miers, and Schenck

Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers

Derek Lynn Jeffery waived a jury and pleaded guilty to indecency with a child and failure to register as a sex offender. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 21.11(a)(2) (West 2011);

TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 62.102(a) (West Supp. 2015). The trial court sentenced appellant to eight years’ imprisonment on the indecency with a child and two years’ confinement in a state jail on the failure to register as a sex offender. On appeal, appellant’s attorney filed a brief in which she concludes the appeals are 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 appeals are frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeals.

We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
