Opinion

No. 14-05-01200-CR

Memorandum Opinion filed June 1, 2006. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).

On Appeal from the 184th District Court, Harris County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 1026938. Affirmed.

Panel consists of Justices HUDSON, FOWLER, and SEYMORE.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant entered a plea of guilty to the offense of possession of child pornography. On November 29, 2005, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for four years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a 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), 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.
