Appeal from the District Court of Bell County, 264th Judicial District, No. 50036, Honorable Joe Carroll, Judge Presiding. Affirmed.

Before Chief Justice LAW, Justices PATTERSON and PURYEAR.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant Samuel Lee Morgan was placed on deferred adjudication community supervision after he pleaded guilty to sexual assault. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.011 (West Supp. 2004-05). He was subsequently adjudicated guilty and sentenced to five years' imprisonment. This appeal followed. 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). Appellant received a copy of counsel's brief and 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.
