OMAR CASTILLO, Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee





On Appeal from the 208th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 877578




 

MEMORANDUM OPINION

               A jury convicted appellant Omar Castillo of aggravated robbery, and the trial court assessed punishment at confinement for 20 years. We affirm.

               Castillo’s court-appointed counsel filed a motion to withdraw as counsel and a brief representing that this appeal is 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 record 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 she served a copy of the brief on Castillo. Counsel also advised Castillo 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 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 judgment of the trial court.

               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.).
