FREDDIE SANCHEZ, Appellant



V.



THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 180th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 886307




MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Freddie Sanchez, was convicted by a jury of aggravated robbery. The jury assessed punishment at 12 years' confinement. We affirm.

Appellant's court-appointed counsel filed 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).

Counsel certifies that the brief was delivered to appellant, who was advised 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 wholly frivolous.

We affirm the judgment. (1)
