Fourteenth Court of
Appeals

NO. 14-07-00145-CR

ELVIN FITZGERALD HALL, Appellant
 
V.
 
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
 

 
On Appeal from the
184th District Court
Harris County,
Texas
Trial Court Cause
No. 1042503
 

 
M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N
Appellant
entered a plea of no contest to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.  On
February 7, 2007, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for
fifty-five years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a notice of appeal.




Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in
which he concludes the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief
meets the requirement of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct.
1396 (1967), presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating
why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See High v. State,
573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).
A copy
of counsel=s brief was delivered to appellant.  Appellant was advised of the right
to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response.  See Stafford v.
State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  At appellant=s request, the record was provided to
him.  On August 31, 2007, appellant filed a pro se response to counsel=s brief, in which he questioned the
voluntariness of his plea, the lack of the judge=s signature on his plea, the evidence
in the pre-sentence investigation report, the amendment of the indictment, and
whether the Anders procedures satisfy due process.  
We have
carefully reviewed the record, counsel=s brief, and appellant=s response, and agree the appeal is
wholly frivolous and without merit.  Further, we find no reversible error in
the record.  A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence
of the state.  We are not to address the merits of each claim raised in an Anders
brief or a pro se response when we have determined there are no arguable
grounds for review.  See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827-28 (Tex.
Crim. App. 2005).  
Accordingly,
the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
