On Appeal from the 230th District Court Harris County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 1059903.

Panel consists of Justices ANDERSON, FOWLER, and FROST.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant entered a plea of "guilty" to the offense of indecency with a child. Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial court deferred adjudication of guilt and placed appellant under community supervision for five years. Subsequently, the State moved to adjudicate guilt. Appellant entered a plea of "true" to nine of the State's ten allegations. Following a hearing, the trial court found the allegations true, adjudicated guilt, and sentenced appellant to confinement for eight 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 he 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 and demonstrating why there are no arguable grounds to be advanced. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811-12 (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, more than sixty days has elapsed and 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. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824, 827-28 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). 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.
