EDWARD BRANDON GARCIA, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 183rd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 810419
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Edward Brandon Garcia, pleaded true to the allegations in the State's motion to adjudicate guilt after having reached a plea agreement with the State. The trial court found appellant guilty of aggravated assault and, following the plea agreement, sentenced appellant to confinement for three years. We affirm.
Appellant's court-appointed counsel filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a brief concluding that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The 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 record and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds of error to be advanced. 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).
The brief states that a copy was delivered to appellant, whom counsel advised by letter 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). Appellant received a copy of the appellate record from the Harris County District Clerk's office on December 10, 2002. More than 30 days have passed since appellant's pro se brief was due, but appellant has not filed one. We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel's brief. We find no reversible error in the record, and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous.
We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
We grant counsel's motion to withdraw. (1) See Stephens v. State, 35 S.W.3d 770, 771 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 2000, no pet.).
