MEMORANDUM OPINION


Samuel Eugene Barnes pleaded guilty to criminal solicitation of a minor to commit sexual assault and to possession of child pornography. The trial judge assessed punishment at ten years' imprisonment and a $1000 fine in each case. Appellant's attorney filed a brief concluding the appeal is wholly frivolous and without merit. The brief meets the requirements of Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). The brief presents a professional evaluation of the record showing why, in effect, there are no arguable grounds to advance. See High v. State, 573 S.W.2d 807, 811 (Tex.Crim.App. [Panel Op.] 1978). A copy of the brief was delivered to appellant. We informed appellant of his right to file a pro se response, but he did not file a response. We have reviewed the record and counsel's brief. See Bledsoe v. State, 178 S.W.3d 824 (Tex.Crim.App. 2005). We agree the appeal is frivolous and without merit. We find nothing in the record that might arguably support the appeal. We affirm the trial court's judgment.
