Anthony James Holland v. State

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-98-00622-CR


Anthony James Holland, Appellant

v.



The State of Texas, Appellee






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 48,023, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING


PER CURIAM

Appellant Anthony James Holland pleaded guilty to an indictment accusing him of sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. §§ 21.11(a)(1) (West 1994); 22.011(a)(2)(A) (West Supp. 1999). After accepting appellant's judicial confession, the district court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at imprisonment for ten years.

Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief concluding 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); High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978); Currie v. State, 516 S.W.2d 684 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974); Jackson v. State, 485 S.W.2d 553 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Gainous v. State, 436 S.W.2d 137 (Tex. Crim. App. 1969). 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 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.
