MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Calvin Wayne Harris, was charged in two separate indictments with the felony offenses of tampering with
physical evidence and escape. The cases were consolidated for trial. A jury found appellant guilty of both offenses. In
each case the jury found two enhancement paragraphs true and assessed appellant s punishment at 25 years
confinement for tampering with physical evidence and 30 years confinement for escape. We affirm.

Appellant s court-appointed counsel filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a brief concluding that the appeals are
without merit. Counsel s brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400
(1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the records that demonstrates the lack of arguable grounds of error.
See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Moore v. State, 845 S.W.2d 352, 353 (Tex. App.
Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, pet. ref d).
Counsel represents that he served a copy of the brief on appellant. Counsel also advised appellant of his right to
examine the appellate record and file a pro se brief. See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App.
1991). More than 30 days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se brief. We have carefully reviewed the
record and counsel s brief. We find no reversible error in the record, and agree that the appeal is without merit. We
therefore affirm the judgments of the trial court in cause numbers 997284 and 997285.
We grant counsel s motion to withdraw. // See Stephens v. State, 35 S.W.3d 770, 771 (Tex. App. Houston [1st Dist.]
2000, no pet.).
Any pending motions are denied as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Taft, Higley, and Bland.
Do not publish. Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
