Court of Appeals Tenth Appellate District of Texas 10-25-00230-CR Curlie Lee Garner, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee On appeal from the 19th District Court of McLennan County, Texas Judge E. Alan Bennett, presiding Trial Court Cause No. 2024-2221-C1 CHIEF JUSTICE JOHNSON delivered the opinion of the Court. MEMORANDUM OPINION Following a jury trial, Curlie Lee Garner was found guilty of the offense of failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 62.102. The trial court found the enhancement paragraph true, assessed his punishment at ten years’ confinement and sentenced him accordingly. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 12.33 and 12.42. This appeal ensued. We affirm the trial court’s judgment. Garner’s appointed counsel filed a motion to withdraw and an Anders brief in support of the motion asserting that he has diligently reviewed the appellate record and that, in his opinion, the appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). Counsel’s brief evidences a professional evaluation of the record for error and compliance with the other duties of appointed counsel. We conclude that counsel has performed the duties required of appointed counsel. See id. at 744, 87 S.Ct. at 1400; High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 812–13 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1978); see also Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 319–20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014); In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 407–09 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008). In reviewing an Anders appeal, we must, “after a full examination of all the proceedings, . . . decide whether the case is wholly frivolous.” Anders, 386 U.S. at 744, 87 S.Ct. at 1400; see Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 80, 109 S.Ct. 346, 349–50, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988); accord Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 509– 11 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991). An appeal is “wholly frivolous” or “without merit” when it “lacks any basis in law or fact.” McCoy v. Court of Appeals, 486 U.S. 429, 438 n.10, 108 S.Ct. 1895, 1902 n.10, 100 L.Ed.2d 440 (1988). After a review of the entire record in this appeal, we have determined the appeal to be wholly frivolous. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 826–28 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s judgment. Curlie Lee Garner v. The State of Texas Page 2 Counsel’s motion to withdraw from representation of Garner is granted.
