TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-00-00070-CV
In the Matter of B. B.
NO. 98-065-J368, HONORABLE JOHN R. CARTER, JUDGE PRESIDING
The procedure approved by the United States Supreme Court for handling an appeal in a criminal case when counsel concludes the appeal is frivolous applies to juvenile cases. See In re D. A. S., 973 S.W.2d 296, 299 (Tex. 1998) (applying Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967)). Counsel's brief meets the requirements of Anders by advancing contentions which counsel says might arguably support the appeal. See Anders, 386 U.S. at 744-45; see also Penson v. Ohio, 488 U. S. 75, 80 (1988); In re D. A. S., 873 S.W.2d at 299. (1)
B. B. pleaded "true" to the allegations that led to his adjudication as delinquent. He pleaded "true" to the allegation that supported revocation of his probation and commitment to the Texas Youth Commission. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief and agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. An extensive discussion of the contentions advanced in counsel's brief would serve no beneficial purpose. Accordingly, we affirm the district-court judgment.
