IN THE COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS,


AT AUSTIN






NO. 3-91-267-CR




TOMMY CHAVEZ,


APPELLANT



vs.






THE STATE OF TEXAS,


APPELLEE





FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 368TH JUDICIAL
DISTRICT

NO. 90-714-K368, HONORABLE BURT CARNES, JUDGE







PER CURIAM

A jury found appellant guilty of indecency with a child. Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 21.11 (1989). The district court assessed punishment at imprisonment for ten years.

Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief in which he concludes that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75 (1988); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978). A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to appellant, and appellant was advised of his right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. No pro se brief has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. Further, we find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal.

The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
