RUBEN PAEZ, Appellant

 

V.

 

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 

On Appeal from the 185th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 895,640

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a plea of guilty to the offense of sexual assault of a child.  In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement, the trial court deferred a finding of guilt and placed appellant on community supervision for eight years.  On November 12, 2002, the State filed a motion to adjudicate guilt.  After a hearing, the trial court found the allegations true and sentenced appellant to confinement for six years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on January 3, 2003.  Appellant filed a timely notice of appeal.


Appellant=s appointed counsel filed a brief in which she concludes 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.  See Stafford v. State, 813 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).  As of this date, no pro se response has been filed.

We have carefully reviewed the record and counsel=s brief and agree 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.
