                                                           Ector

The
jury convicted Robert Keith Brooks of two offenses of aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon, entered a deadly weapon finding in each case, and found the
enhancement allegation in each case to be true.  The jury assessed punishment
at confinement for thirty years in each case.  We dismiss the appeals.




Appellant=s court-appointed counsel
has filed a motion to withdraw in each case.  The motions are supported by
briefs in which counsel professionally and conscientiously examines the record
and applicable law and states that he has concluded that the appeals are
frivolous.  Counsel has provided appellant with copies of his briefs and
advised appellant of his right to review the record and file responses to
counsel=s briefs. 
Responses have not been filed.  Court-appointed counsel has complied with the
requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967); In re
Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008); Stafford v. State,
813 S.W.2d 503 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807
(Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App.
1974); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969); and Eaden
v. State, 161 S.W.3d 173 (Tex. App.CEastland
2005, no pet.).
Following
the procedures outlined in Anders, we have independently reviewed the
record, and we agree that the appeals are without merit.  We note that counsel
has the responsibility to advise appellant that he may file petitions for
discretionary review by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.  Ex parte Owens,
206 S.W.3d 670 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006).  Likewise, this court advises appellant
that he may file petitions for discretionary review pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 66.  Black v. 
State,  217 S.W.3d 687 (Tex. App.CEastland
2007, no pet.). 
The
motions to withdraw are granted, and the appeals are dismissed.
