IN THE MATTER OF J.M.S.

From the 289th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas

Trial Court No. 2000JUV01806

Honorable Carmen Kelsey, Judge Presiding

Opinion by: Phil Hardberger, Chief Justice

Sitting: Phil Hardberger, Chief Justice

Catherine Stone, Justice

Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Delivered and Filed: March 13, 2002

AFFIRMED

Appellant was found to have engaged in delinquent conduct. Appellant's court-appointed attorney filed a brief in accordance with Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967), in which she concludes that the appeal has no merit. Counsel provided appellant and his guardian with a copy of the brief and informed them of appellant's right to review the record and file his own brief. See In re A.L.H., 974 S.W.2d 359, 360-61 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1998, no pet.); Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d 83, 85-86 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1997, no pet.); Bruns v. State, 924 S.W.2d 176, 177 n.1 (Tex. App.--San Antonio 1996, no pet.).

We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. We agree that the appeal is frivolous and without merit. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. Appellate counsel's motion to withdraw is granted. Nichols v. State, 954 S.W.2d at 86; Bruns 924 S.W.2d at 177 n.1.
