TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
Brandon Means, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
NO. 10,614, HONORABLE TERRY L. FLENNIKEN, JUDGE PRESIDING
Appellant Brandon Means pleaded guilty to aggravated assault. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. 22.02 (West Supp. 2005). After hearing evidence relevant to punishment, the court assessed a twenty-year prison sentence.
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, who 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.
