VIDAL VASHON MITCHELL, Appellant

 

V.

 

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 

On Appeal from the 262nd District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 875,895

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M  O P I N I O N

After a jury trial, appellant was convicted of the offense of assault on a public servant.  Appellant elected to have the court assess punishment, and he pleaded true to the enhancement paragraph in the indictment.  On September 17, 2001, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for twelve years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.


Appellant's appointed counsel filed a brief in which she concludes that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S. Ct. 1396 (1967), by presenting a professional evaluation of the record demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced.  See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807 (Tex. Crim. App. 1978).

A copy of counsel=s brief was delivered to appellant.  Appellant was advised of the right to examine the appellate record and file a pro se response.  As of this date, no pro se response has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel=s brief and agree that the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit.  Further, we find no reversible error in the record.  A discussion of the brief would add nothing to the jurisprudence of the state.

Accordingly, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
