TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
Joseph Andrew Griego, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
NO. 54,320, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING
Appellant Joseph Andrew Griego pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child. Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.021 (West 2003). The court adjudged him guilty and sentenced him to fifteen years' imprisonment.
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 he 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.
