                           THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                     On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 6

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION
                          Before Justices Lang, Fillmore, and Schenck
                                    Opinion by Justice Lang
       A jury convicted Anthony Earl Lightner of theft of property valued at $100,000 or more

but less than $200,000 and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle (UUMV). After finding two

enhancement paragraphs true, the jury assessed punishment at fifty years’ imprisonment for the

theft conviction and ten years’ imprisonment for the UUMV conviction. 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. 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).

          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 appeals are frivolous and without merit.

See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–27 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005) (explaining appellate

court’s duty in Anders cases). We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the

appeals.

          We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
