                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION
                          Before Justices Lang-Miers, Myers, and Lewis
                                    Opinion by Justice Myers

       John Alcantar Alva appeals following the adjudication of his guilt for aggravated assault

with a deadly weapon. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.02(a) (West 2011). The trial court

assessed punishment at ten years’ imprisonment. 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, 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.
