TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-01-00529-CR
Manuel Aguilar, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF CALDWELL COUNTY, 274TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 99-031, HONORABLE CHARLES R. RAMSAY, JUDGE PRESIDING
A jury found appellant guilty of two counts of indecency with a child by contact. See Tex.
Pen. Code Ann. ' 21.11 (West Supp. 2002). The jury assessed punishment for each count at
imprisonment for fourteen years and a $10,000 fine.
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. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. Counsel=s motion to
withdraw is granted.
The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
