RAMON SALGADO, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 177th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 868211
O P I N I O N
Appellant pled guilty to the charge of aggravated robbery enhanced by one prior felony offense. The court found appellant guilty, and assessed his punishment at 28-years confinement.
Counsel has filed a brief stating his opinion that the appeal is frivolous. The brief meets the minimum requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record and stating why there are no arguable grounds of error on appeal. See Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137, 138 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969).
Counsel certifies that the brief was delivered to appellant, and he was advised he had a right to file a pro se response. Thirty days have passed, and appellant has not filed a pro se response.
We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. We hold there are no arguable grounds for appeal.
We affirm the judgment.
We grant appellant's counsel's motion to withdraw. See Stephens v. State, 35 S.W.3d 770, 771 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2000, no pet.). Counsel still has a duty to inform appellant of the result of this appeal and also to inform appellant that he may, on his own, pursue discretionary review in the Court of Criminal Appeals. See Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25, 27 (Tex. Crim. App. 1997).
