Fourteenth Court of Appeals

NO. 14-23-00835-CR

ANTHONY NEAL LEWIS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 344th District Court
Chambers County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 23DCR0528

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant appeals his conviction for failure to comply with sex offender
registration requirements. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 62.102(a).
Appellant’s appointed counsel 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), by presenting a professional evaluation of the
record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See
High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811–13 (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, 512 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). On June 26, 2024, appellant
filed a letter in response to counsel’s brief.

We have carefully reviewed the record, counsel’s brief, and appellant’s
letter. We agree the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. Further, we find
no reversible error in the record. 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).

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

PER CURIAM
