in the Matter of C. H. R.

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-99-00464-CV


In the Matter of C. H. R.






FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 98TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. J-16,590, HONORABLE JOHN K. DIETZ, JUDGE PRESIDING


In April 1999, C.H.R. was adjudged to have engaged in delinquent conduct and placed on probation for one year. In July 1999, at a hearing on the State's motion to modify, C.H.R. pleaded true to the allegations that he violated the conditions of his probation. The juvenile court granted the motion to modify and committed C.H.R. to the Texas Youth Commission.

C.H.R.'s appointed counsel on appeal filed a brief asserting that the appeal is frivolous. The brief complies with the requirements for such briefs discussed in In Re D.A.S., 973 S.W.2d 296 (Tex. 1998), and, more generally, in Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Counsel's brief contains a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no meritorious errors to be advanced. A copy of counsel's brief was delivered to C.H.R. and to his parent, and they were advised of their right to examine the appellate record and to file a pro se brief. A pro se brief was not filed.

We have independently reviewed the record and agree with counsel that the appeal is frivolous. The order is affirmed.
